ANZAC Day
They shall grow not old, as we who are left 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.
Lest we forget.
Every year on April 25th this Ode is recited all over our country. ANZAC Day to many of us has some type of reflection or memory.
For me, I have many memories of ANZAC Day, especially the ones with my father Paddy and the men of the 2/2nd Commando Unit whom he served with in Timor 1942.
The bond these men had since their return from Timor and their own memories of Timor is something I and many of the children of these men will treasure forever.
These men owed their lives to the local Timorese during their mission on the island of Timor in the Second World War in 1942. They never forgot those words: “Your Friends Do Not Forget You”.
You can assist ATLAS in our mission of education and job creation for the younger generation of this developing nation.
Greg Mills and I travel to Timor in early May and look forward to updating you all on our return.
