Each and every year on April 25, many Everton Park residents pay homage to the ANZACS who fought for our countries and braved conditions and horrors that are simply unimaginable to most of us today.
ANZAC Day is arguably one of Australia’s most important national holidays and it gives us all the time to reflect on the sacrifices that were made by our brave soldiers during the First World War, and that are still made by our defence forces today.
If you want to show your ANZAC spirit this year, you can do so by watching the ANZAC Day march take place through the streets of Brisbane, or you might like to attend one of the dawn vigils or memorial services that all serve as a way to commemorate the ANZACS.
We all receive a public holiday on ANZAC Day and it is important that we take some time on this day, no matter how busy our lives are, to either attend a commemorative service or at least to join the nation in a minute’s silence where we can think about how lucky we are to have the freedoms and way of life we have in Australia today.
