Anzac Day has already been marked by National Guard reserves in Oregon, in recognition of the ties formed during World War II.
The Oregon Army National Guard held an Anzac Day commemoration on April 12 to recognise the historic friendships formed between the 41st Infantry Division and Australian and New Zealand forces.
The relationship dates to 1942, when members of the 41st infantry trained in Australia prior to combat operations in New Guinea and the Philippines.
New Zealanders and Australians living in Oregon attended the ceremony, held at the 41st Division Armed Forces Reserve Centre at Camp Withycombe, during monthly training.
Wreaths were laid under the flags of Australia, New Zealand and the United States during the ceremony.
