Anzac Day is a time of remembrance - not glory, says one reader.
Five people were asked in the Advocate (April 23) if they will be attending Anzac Day Services this year. Two people said that, in effect, as they are pacifists, they would not glorify war.
Who "glorifies" war?
As an RSA member, I deem it a duty to attend services to
thank those who gave us the freedom and civilisation that we enjoy today. No one in the RSA that I recall glorifies war.
If we had our heads buried in the sand at the sound of trouble, somebody would come and kick us in the "rear end" and our freedom would, no doubt, be history.
The world is a volatile place, and I thank my lucky stars that I live in a country where peace prevails.
