What do we remember on Anzac Day?

Answer 1

ANZAC Day serves several purposes. It is a day to remember the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who died at Gallipoli, especially on the day of the first landing, on 25 April 1915. ANZAC Day also serves to remember the troops who have given 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. At the same time, ANZAC Day reminds us of the futility of war, and reinforces the need to avoid war at all cost.

Answer 2

The actual words are lest we forget.

The words are a reminder to us to not forget the past, and not forget the sacrifices made by the ANZACs and others who have gone to war. Essentially they mean, "May we not forget".

Answer 3

We remember the horrendous sacrifice and loss of life of our soldiers. We hope we have learned to stay out of foreign wars which do not threaten Australia, and that our military efforts in future will be directed to action where we have a direct involvement to protect our friends and safeguard our own security.
