100 years ago today the young men of Australia and New Zealand's history joined forces for the better good of both countries. They did it for the monarchy BUT above all; they did it for the generations yet to come so that they could live the lives that they do.
Oh so many lives were stolen on that beach in Gallipoli on that first landing and yet they kept on going in the name of freedom...OUR freedom.
Yesterday, I heard of a terrorist attack where somebody chose to plant a bomb to steal yet more lives on such a sacred day in our nation's history and it sickened me beyond belief. My first thought was 'If you can't be a TRUE Aussie go back to your homeland and leave us be. No body forced you to come here... that was your choice. YOU were the immigrant/refugee that chose our shores and our way of life from that of your homeland so assimilate... be an Aussie BUT do it with love in your heart. If you can't do this then you don't deserve the right to call Australia home.'
It is also a day that we stand and pay homeage to every military force and the members there of who put their lives on the line in Korea, WWII, Vietnam and last but not least Iran and Iraq in the name of PEACE.
To those out there who don't want to enjoy this God-given commodity; leave, be gone as life is way too short to be at war with terrorism.
