It is. This is the 100th anniversary of the first Anzac commemoration, and it is heartening to see that each year the numbers attending Anzac services are increasing. People are taking their children along, sometimes wearing their grandfathers’ and great grandfathers’ medals. The collective will to remember is growing stronger as the numbers of those who bore witness diminishes. For that I am thankful.

It’s good to know the children are learning how their freedoms were won for them. It is so sad that lessons such these are a part of life.
