Lest We Forget.
With Anzac Day fast approaching, it impresses me year after year to see our young ones so keen to attend services and understand the meaning behind the parades and symbolism. How important it is for the youth of today to come together to respect the sacrifices of their elders and to connect with community and family. My children have been to dawn services since they were born (except during Covid when we held our own vigil outside in the street). They are always keen to listen, question and consider.
Having grown up in a small country town, Anzac Day options were limited to the one event in our community. Options were not an option! Yet I do remember marching with my primary school and laying wreaths and making speeches. It was an important part of my childhood and therefore I see value in the participation of my children at a young age. If you are aligned with this view as a parent, then here is the list of Anzac Day 2023 services for the Northern Gold Coast.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
