The 25th day of April is an anniversary date

That we solemnly remember each year.

We remember brave young men and women

Who gave their lives so we can have freedom.

"Lest We Forget" are words that are

Impressed on our hearts as we remember

The sacrifice they made.

They bravely left their homeland to do their duty,

Not only for their country but loved ones as well.

They went against impossible odds,

With hope in their hearts and many

Lost their lives on some foreign shore.

We gather each Anzac Day to remember

And we will keep on remembering.

They inspire us as they knew the true meaning

Of comradeship, tolerance and decency.

ANZAC -- The Australian and New Zealand Army Corp.

We will remember.

They shall grow not old

As we that are left grow old.

Age shall not weary them

Nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun

And in the morning

We shall remember them.

ANZAC by Bartlett Adamson

By purple hills and opalescent sea

And sunlit leagues of plain they lived, and they

Were summery-hearted all, and life was gay,

And peace was theirs, and love and liberty.

And when the clarion sounded suddenly,

They went, a rollicking band of boys at play

Tilted at doom, and there, at Anzac Bay

Died........but they taught the world what men they be.

And Anzac now is an enchanted shore;

A tragic splendor, and a holy name;

A deed eternity will still acclaim;

A loss that crowns the victories of yore;

A glittering golden dome for evermore

Shining above the minarets of fame.

How could we ever forget.

We Will Remember Them.
