Because it's the day where many brave soldiers fought for their country and some died fighting.
OP, go watch the movie Gallipoli. That will give you a good idea of what the ANZAC forces went through in WW I aka "The war to end all wars."

Yes, the compound noun 'Anzac Day' is a proper noun, the name of a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand; the name of a specific thing.
Definetly, ANZAC day should always be remembered to remember our soldiers that sacrificed their lives for the good of our country. There lives should be remembered at all times.
BECAUSE it's a sign of respect
Anzac Day actually has nothing to do with D-Day. - Anzac Day honours the heroes and the dead of the Gallipoli Campaign in 1915 in Turkey.
Australians and New Zealanders from all walks of life commemorate ANZAC Day.
Because ANZAC Day was the first time that troops from the Australian Colonies went in action as Australians!
Australians
Anzac day recognizes the soldiers that risked their own lives for us Australians in both the world wars esp the ones that actually died on behalf of us.
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.
Australians, along with New Zealanders, mark the First World War with ANZAC Day. It is a day of remembrance, and Australians generally take great pride in their contributions to the war effort.
It is impossible to predict the future. However, it is hoped that Australians and New Zealanders will continue to honour the brave people in the defence forces for ever, and this would most likely continue with the ANZAC Day commemorations.
ANZAC Day was gazetted as a public holiday in New Zealand in 1921. In Australia, it was decided at the 1921 state premiers conference that ANZAC Day be observed on April 25 each year. Initially, it was not observed uniformly in all the states.It wasn't until 1927 that all Australians commemorated the day with a public holiday.
