ANZAC PRIDE

HERITIC · 04-22-2005, 05:27 AM

Were has the ANZAC pride gone i mean a residence waving the NAZI flag so close to ANZAC day.
and the other day i saw a group of kids graffiting an ANZAC memorial what has happened to the pride and respect that we so owe the soldiers who fought for our beloved country AUSTRALIA!!!!!

The pride is still there and getting stronger I would say Heretic. Sure there will always be idiots but don’t let the actions of a few tinge what will be a glorious celebration.

90 years since Australia 'came of age'

What will you be doing on Anzac day? Myself I will miss the dawn service because of work (nightshift) but will hopefully get to the big footy match with my brother in Sydney and will be able to pay my respects at the game.

Which reminds me of a question Aelia Jusa asked a couple of years ago.

Do you wish someone a happy Anzac day? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

There will always be a few fools around the place. They should be treated as fools. [img]smile.gif[/img]

You get them everywhere, some people, i refuse to say youths, as there is no proof, altough sadly it was probably the young, have graffitied a war memorial over here in my town, and some French youths and some men desecrated the graves of British, and possibily commonwealth soldiers, in France. Think it was a WW1 one though.
