Two special days...

Yesterday was Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Today is Anzac Day.

I took a moment yesterday to reflect on the horrors of the Holocaust. I remembered especially my visit to the Holocaust exhibit at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles and being privileged to listen to one of the survivors of the death camps(I believe she was at Dachau).

Today I salute our Aussie and Kiwi allies and their heroism. Gallipoli should never be forgotten. As the Americans have Normandy and Omaha beaches on D-Day, the Australians and New Zealanders have Gallipoli.

It was quite upsetting that the eternal flame of rememberance was put out last week by vandals (more likely protestors for something totaly unrelated).

91 years ago may seem like history but it still holds with relevance today, troops are not disposable they're just a bunch of young people with a belief that they are making the difference for the sake of all they hold dear. "Lest we forget".
