of remembrance to our friends Down Under!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anzac_Day
Wikipedia wrote:Anzac Day (/ˈænzæk/; Māori: Rā Whakamahara ki ngā Hōia o Ahitereiria me Aotearoa[2] or Rā o ngā Hōia)[1] is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders "who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations" and "the contribution and suffering of all those who have served".[3][4] Observed on 25 April each year, Anzac Day was originally devised to honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who served in the Gallipoli campaign, their first engagement in the First World War (1914–1918).

Letter from Atatürk to Anzacs:
“Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives …You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side in this country of ours. You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries, wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.”
A response by an Anzac’s mother to Atatürk’s words:
“The warmth of your words eased our sorrow for our sons who vanished in Gallipoli, and our tears ended. Your words are a consolation to me as a mother. Now we are sure that our sons rest in peace in their eternal rest. If your Excellency accepts, we would like to call you ‘Ata’, too. Because what you have said at the graves of our sons could only be said by their own fathers. In the name of all mothers, our respects to the Great Ata who embraced our children with the love of a father.”

I thought of it last night to move the ANZAC emoticon to the front emoticon list, didn't do it at the time, and then I forgot about it. Dang it! Those brave souls who fought for freedom deserve better.

Our veterans and the families of those who served march side by side in commemoration as friends with those who were once our foes. We embrace the Türks as our brothers. If things were different (politically) we may have quite possibly been allies fighting side by side but that was not to be. Our countries (Türkiye, AU & NZ) came of age in the conflict at Gallipoli and we honour all who fought.Levent Suberk wrote:Letter from Atatürk to Anzacs:

Agreed Rod, but Gallipoli was an acknowledged disaster for all involved. The film by the same name with Mel Gibson was brutal. War is such a waste. Plotted by the privileged and suffered by the masses. Ukraine is an example.
