My remarks regarding the European takeover of this place was meant to emphasise the fact that so many Australians feel Anzac Day is far more important to us as a nation than Australia Day could ever be.

NIGHTSAILER - Thank you so much for posting the words of Ataturk. I omitted them from my original post as I thought it was getting to long.

Let's face it, war sucks. No war is good. Some are unavoidable, but none are good. Some, like WW1 are a complete and utter waste with absolutely no redeeming featute whatsoever. However, honouring those who suffered and died doing what they thought was the right and decent thing to do , is our duty, a duty we should perform wholeheartedly and with great pride.

ps - it's the "Australian and New Zealand Army Corps"
