Today is Anzac Day and it is important to take the time today to think about the men and women who have served their country as a member of the Australian defence force. Similarly, it is important to remember those that are currently serving, some of whom are deployed to hostile locations ((Diggers wounded in Iraq blast)).

Regardless of whether you think they should be there or not, they have volunteered to serve their country and are putting their lives on the line for the rest of us.
