Friends and strangers
who were prepared to make
the ultimate sacrifice
to preserve our rights
for freedom
Commitment and bravery
is all those soldiers knew
those whom have fallen
and those that remain
heroes one and all
Gracious we stand here today
our freedom still intact
remembering the spirit
of ANZAC
Whilst saluting the mighty flag
we say a prayer of thanks
to those fallen heroes
LEST WE FORGET.
