This random act brought the coming Australian holiday of Anzac (April 25th) to my attention.  I didn’t have a clue what Anzac was so I Googled it and found it is a day set aside to honor the Australian and New Zealand army troops, specifically those who fought in World War I.  I think we North Americans often forget there were other nations at our side during those battles.  So along with my gratitude to the Veterans of the US, I offer my thanks to the Anzac.

I came across this lovely video dedicated to these brave soldiers and would like to share it with you all.
