As a member of the US Army Reserves I spent three weeks in your Country in 2003 to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the formation of the Australia Reserve Forces Medical Services. I must say the Australian people are very friendly and generous! One of the we marched in was in celebration of Anzac Day and I feel honored to have participated.

Hope you guys all had a great Anzac day!! I did the dawn service this morning and went to the march during the day... The turn out was more than impressive with over a thousand people crammed into the dawn service as always a moving experience being there watching the sun rise over the palm trees on the beach.

Thought I would share a picture of some of the people I was there for today... My Grandmothers brothers and sisters, uncle Laurie served in the 2/16th and uncle Owen served in the 2/48th they were fortunate to have survived the war but are sadly no longer with us today but I try to keep their memory alive.

And my uncle Keith who sadly never made it home and died at such a young age defending England ...Lest We Forget
