Anzac Day Writing

On ANZAC Day we celebrate to honor the soldiers that fought for us in the war. Some celebrate by having a dawn parade . We call it a dawn parade because that is when the soldiers landed on Gallipoli on the 25th of April 1915. We wear poppies and some people might wear their whanau's medals that they won when they were fighting. Poppies are special because they were the first flowers to grow on Gallipoli after the war. We go to memorials and sing , say prayers, say the ode and listen to the last post. At the memorials we lay wreaths on the stones and everybody lays their poppies on them. Veterans are old soldiers that fought in the war and survived. Veterans wear their medals proudly. They celebrate by marching at dawn parades. Some people might cry because of all the soldiers that died for us. There might even be whanau who died. Lest We Forget.

 ANZAC Day makes us remember about the soldiers that died in war. Poppies mean a lot because it was the first plant to grow on the land that they had war on we should remember them. My great great grandfather served in World War 1. He was 15 and when we go to ANZAC Day we wear a poppy and wear his medals.

 ANZAC Day is when we commemorate soldiers and people that have died in the World War 1 and World Wand and other wars and we wear poppies every ANZAC day on the 25th of April. We march, we commemorate and sing the National anthem. We also say the ode. Lest we Forget.
