Yes. While early commemorations honoured just the ANZAC troops of World War, the day has come to be a time to honour Australians (and, in New Zealand, the New Zealanders) who have served in all wars since then.

Why do Australians celebrate ANZAC Day?
Australians (and New Zealanders) do not "celebrate" ANZAC Day: they commemorate it.ANZAC Day was originally a day of remembrance for the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who landed at Gallipoli on the 25th of April, 1915. The day commemorates the bravery and sacrifice of the thousands of men who died during the eight-month occupation of Gallipoli.Subsequently, ANZAC Day has become a day of remembrancefor all Australian and New Zealand soldiers who gave their lives in all wars. In Australia and New Zealand, ANZAC Day commemorations feature solemn "dawn services", a tradition started in Albany, Western Australia on 25 April 1923. These services are held at war memorials around both countries. Marches by veterans and family members of those who have died in past wars are held in capital cities and towns nationwide, as Australians and New Zealanders honour our brave Defence Force personnel.In recent years, participation has also been extended to the soldiers of non-ANZAC countries and even our former enemies. It has never been a day of "celebration", but is a day of "commemoration".
What wars were the Anzacs in?
Anzac officially served in the Gallipoli Campaign of World War One from April of 1915 to December 1915/January 1916. Thereafter they were disbanded and became the New Zealand Expeditionary Force (NZEF) and the Australian Infantry Force (AIF). Both forces served independently of one another for the rest of the war, and for all wars afterwards.

Why do you commemorate ANZAC Day on 25th April each year?
ANZAC Day is commemorated by Australians and New Zealanders on 25 April because that is the anniversary of the day in 1915 when the troops landed at Gallipoli on the Turkish Aegean coast. ANZAC day is still commemorated today to honour the sacrifice of the thousands of brave men who died at Gallipoli during the eight-month campaign. Out of respect for those men, Australians pause for a minute's silence and many attend commemorative services. ANZAC Day has also become a day to remember all the servicemen who have been killed during active service in subsequent wars.
