This morning Eric and I woke up well before dawn and made our way down to the annual Anzac Day dawn service at the Esplanade. Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand. It honors those who are on active duty and those who have served and
died in military operations. Anzac day is very similar to Memorial Day
in the United States. The Australian and New Zealand defense forces have a nice dawn service followed by a gunfire breakfast at the hostie. It was a beautiful morning and we feel so honored to have been "adopted" into the military community here. Enjoy our pics.
