We will remember them...

My family and I woke up early and joined in the "Stand for Dawn" service, next to our letterbox as we listened to the "Last Post" being played on the bugle on Radio NZ. I remembered my grandfather who served in WW2 as an Infantry officer from 1939 - 1946. I was lucky enough to visit Gallipoli in Turkey in 2000 amongst thousands of other New Zealanders and Australians and take part in the Dawn service at Chunuk Bair. I also got to meet Prime Minister at the time Helen Clark on that occasion. They shall not grow old, as we that 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.
