ANZAC DAY April 25

Anzac Day is a National Day of Remembrance in Australia and New Zealand. It broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders “who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations.”

Here are some photos of these warriors in action.

I wanted to post these photos to honor those men and women from Australia and New Zealand.  Those who fought to defend the South Vietnamese people against the communists from the north.

 On this Anzac Day:   Salute!
