They shall not grow 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. For the Fallen,
(by Laurence Binyon) Lest we forget.

The tradition of the Australian Anzac biscuit started with WWI,
when women and children sent tins of supplies to the brave soldiers
and farmers fighting for their country. Today the Anzac biscuit is
a tradition that comes in all different shapes, sizes and
recipes.

Aussie soldier killed in Afghanistan A title that has been in
the news all too regularly; But still Aussies volunteer to go,
fight and defend.

By the start of WWII people werent so excited to join the
fighting force, propaganda promoting the War began to appear all
over the country.

The ANZAC Spirit was built in the First World War, and kept by
the soldiers in WWII. But is it still part of the Australian
Defence Force today? Yes, recently a Lance Corporal MacKinney died
after a gun battle in Afghanistan with some Taliban insurgents, and
yet his companions still say he had found his true calling as a
soldier.
Slide 20
One of the biggest parts of study for new ADF recruits looks
closely at the ANZACs, what they did, and the Spirit that soldiers
created. For Australian Navy recruits ANZAC Day is the biggest
formal event of their year.

A woman that I believe needs no introduction, after her bravery
in Gaza. These cartoons were titled Julie and Jodie. George Gittoes

Slide 23
Currently serving as part of the UN peacekeeping mission in
Gaza, where she has been for almost four years, she was in the
Australian Army for 22 years prior. She truly is part of the legacy
left by the first ANZACs and still calls Australia home.
Slide 24
December 22 nd 2009 Remembered as one of the many occasions
that the Gaza strip was under siege. As buildings shook like an
earthquake from shells, Jodie and one other noticed that a white
phosphorous bomb had landed under a line of 12 fuel trucks, enough
collective explosive power to wipe Gaza of the face of the planet.
Together the pair pulled planks of wood from a pallet near by, and
carefully knocked the bomb clear. While moving the trucks to a
safer position.
Slide 25
Jodie was officially recognised in a letter for her bravery and
is also the only woman to have received the Sam Browne Belt. She
was also personally responsible for The Guinness Book Of World
Records attempt to Fly the most kites simultaneously, as part of a
summer camp that included 3710 of Gazas children.
Slide 26
Although officially working for the UN, Jodie is very much an
Aussie girl at heart. And she proved it, and showed the true ANZAC
Spirit when she commissioned the first ANZAC Day service in Gaza
since 1917. From scrap metal flagpoles, to out sourced poppies, to
the Anzac biscuits, everything was traditional except the 8:30am
start due to security.
