Today my time (3:45 am) and tomorrow in the USA, it is/will be ANZAC Day for Australians and New Zealanders. It begins solemnly at dawn with a memorial ceremony for service men and women, past and present. We pay special tribute to the original ANZACS — the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps — who fought a losing battle on the shores of Gallipoli in 1915.
ANZAC Day is a national holiday so after the solemn ceremonies, it’s home for breakfast before we’re off again, this time to line the main streets for the morning parades. By lunchtime, we start to tackle the really fun stuff — barbeques, beer and wine with family, friends and furbutts!
To celebrate ANZAC Day’s 102nd anniversary this year, the Moondai Furbutts team iz parading the troops of the Australia and New Zealand Fur and Feather Corps! You’re invited to the PWB Peeps VIP viewing area for the parade. Quick, get comfy, it’s about to start!
