This poem always strikes a cord with me each year. I love Anzac Day as its a great time to remember the sacrifice of those before us and to honor those that still serve.
They joined for many reasons:
To march, to sail, to fly.
They went where they were posted, but no one joins to die.
Our leaders talk on tv,
"What else could we have done",
But those leaders have lost no daughters, and none has lost a son.
So here's to all our fallen,
wherever they may lie.
Rest in peace now brother,
It's no ones job to die.
Lest we forget.
