00:05day is filled with uncertainty, because in this day and age, in Australia, I am a young

00:12person who can attend school, go out town with mates and live without being afraid.

00:19Although Anzac Day is a date that commemorates the landing of 16,000 Australian and New Zealand

00:25soldiers on the shore of the Gallipoli Peninsula, today we recognise and remember all of those

00:31who served and continue to serve, so that we can have the freedoms that we do today.

00:38Australians and New Zealanders have always come together to support each other during

00:41difficult times.

00:42Whether it be on the front line, defending our country, natural disasters around the

00:48world, or even just a shoulder to cry on, our Anzacs led by example.

00:54Through great courage they showed when landing on unknown soils, their endurance to push

01:05on one another, going through the ups and downs as a family unit.
