As an ex serviceman this is one day that evokes a certain amount of emotion. This year I was not able to attend the dawn service or even think about marching due to health issues. That did not stop me from getting up at dawn and thinking of those who made the ultimate sacrifice, think about the guys I served with and think about those who continue to serve in whatever capacity.
It's good to see the participation is still strong with both people attending watching both the dawn service and those who actually march. It's a mark of respect for all those who have been involved in the services in my opinion.
One thing I personally am very proud of is my own service to my country even though that was a long time ago now. Service life is not an easy life no matter what you are doing or where you are serving. So if you have in the past or even now offered yourself for service you ought to be proud of your commitment. It takes up a big chunk of your life and stays with you forever.
