On Anzac Day I am sad

On Anzac Day I remember the people who lost their lives in war.

On Anzac Day I remember the people who survived with injuries or scars, physical and emotional.

On Anzac Day I remember and wonder: what would their lives have been like had they not been affected by the war; what contributions might they have made to their families, communities and society had they survived?

On Anzac Day I remember, I am sad and I am grateful.
