Yesterday was the centennial of the first ANZAC day, or actually, the event that ANZAC day commemorates.
Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders "who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations" and "the contribution and suffering of all those who have served" Observed on 25 April each year, Anzac Day was originally devised to honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli against the Ottoman Empire during World War I, the 25 April being the day they entered the battle. Anzac Day is also observed in the Cook Islands, Niue, Pitcairn Islands, and Tonga, and previously was a national holiday in Papua New Guinea and Samoa. | | | Cristian Toro | | | | Eric Belanger | | | | Iraklis Kozas Ηρακλης Κοζας | | | | Kevin Selby | | | | Nick Jonas and the Rock | The opportunity affords us a chance to commemorate all those who sacrifice their lives in service. -- Posted By Blogger to SR at 4/26/2018 07:24:00 AM -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "omnisport" group.
