Remembrance Day 2010

On Thursday yet another day for remembering all our servicemen and women many of whom paid the ultimate price ensuring that you and your families are alive and well today.

The British government called it Armistice Day however after the end of WWll Australia and Great Britain decided it would be more appropriate to call it Remembrance Day.

Here in Australia 75 years on remains of an unknown Australian Digger were discovered and entombed in the hall of memory at our war memorial.

The Governor General in 1997 changed the silence to one minute.

All our allies in this shocking war decided to use the same time and the same day for their soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

They shall grow not 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
