Its good to see people can embrace the day and not bring in anti war issues.
The day goes past war ..it goes to the very heart of what we are and see of ourselves as a nation..but thats ones persons view.. the V war took away from it for a while.
I remember playing in the brass band at Junee in the marches, all those military and marching songs..It was such an emotional thing.. the band and the day, being inside the music was over powering.
As a boy being able to be there when the men got together after.. I was in uniform so must have been OK I guess.. but you would hear things that you never forget... things they probably would never have mentioned if not for the day and the beer and the company who shared the common past.
Some brave things but also sad things.
But it finally is about men doing the best they can for their friends and putting them before themselves.
