Each year on 25 April, Australians and New Zealanders pay tribute to those who have been tasked to protecting its borders and to preserve its freedoms. But we commemorate more than its soldiers. We pay tribute to all those in uniform, to those who provide medical care, to the families that wait at home in hope, to those whose loved ones died, and to those who come home but are ill in body or mind. Anzac Day is the day we most earnestly pray for peace in our hearts, families, communities and the world.
