Little Free (DVD) Library - Belt Rd, ANZAC Day
Good morning my neighbours, on this special day in New Zealand's heart I have added some DVD's that show both the horror of war and the bravery and camaraderie of the men and women who risk their lives on our behalf.
Be kind to each other...
"At this hour, on this day, ANZAC received its baptism of fire and became one of the immortal names in history. We who are gathered here think of the comrades who went out with us to battle but did not return. We feel them still near us in spirit. We wish to be worthy of their great sacrifice. Let us, therefore, once again dedicate ourselves to the service of the ideals of which they died. As the dawn is even now about to pierce the night, so let the memory inspire us to work for the coming of the new light into the dark places of the world.
They shall not grow old, as we that are left to grow old; Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them. '
