Stand at Dawn: Virtual Anzac Day Dawn Service
Anzac Day is one of the most important national occasions for both Australians and New Zealanders. In 2020, for the first time in history, Anzac Day Services across New Zealand have been cancelled due to COVID-19. Even though public Anzac Services are unable to go ahead, it does not mean that the tradition of remembering and commemorating our veterans and service personnel should be cancelled too. The RSA and New Zealand Defence Force would like you to join us to remember those who given their lives for our country. This is a time to pay respect and acknowledge the many thousands of our military people who are serving or have served, who are called upon to support New Zealand in times of war, conflict and disasters. Listen to Newstalk ZB at 6:00 am on Saturday 25 April for the morning service. Stand at your letterbox, at the front door, in your lounge rooms, balconies, in your driveway. Wherever you are in the world, stand with us and take a moment to remember our fallen – but please stay within your ‘bubble’. Veterans are encouraged to wear their medals just as they would for the official public gathering.
The morning service includes:
=========================
***The Last Post
***Ode of Remembrance
***National Anthem
***Address by Hon. Ron Mark, Minister of Defence / Minister for Veterans

I twinkle and glow, guiding paths in the snow.

What am I?
