ANZAC day, most people know it is a day off school or work but what is ANZAC day alll about? The word ANZAC stends for Australian New Zealand army cops and is celebrated on 25 of April each year. This a day set aside for everyone to remember those who have lost their lives through military service, basically people who have been killed in war or helping other countries. Now what is horrible, there was a lot of pain and suffering. But people had to fight to keep the world safe and we as New Zealanders wanted to keep our country safe so we sent people to help in different wars.
 * ANZAC DAY**

ANZAC Day is always a big deal in our house as my Great Nanna served in WWII. She was from Scotland and was part of the war effort in London. As a family we always go to ANZAC Day service and place a red poppy on her grave. Most New Zealanders relate ANZAC day with red poppys. This is one way to remember those soliders who have died. Many New Zealanders lost their lives in wars over the years. 8000 New Zealanders and Australians died in Galloipoli, Turkey, during WWII.

In New Zealand we have 2 services: The Dawn Service which everyone is up super early and then the second service which is later in the day. The service starts with a parade, hymns, prays and an address. Then they place wreaths near a statue and an old solider plays ‘The Last Post’ on a bugal which is like a trumpet. The returned servicemen and women always say a poem which is really sad. It goes: They shall not grow old, as we grow old, age shall not weary them, at the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them, least we forget.

So ANZAC Day is more than just a day off school or work each year, it’s a time to remember those people who have fought and died to keep New Zealand the way it is today and for that I am very thankfull. ||
