We had a huge turn out today at least 350 people, I felt proud to wear my Dads medals this is a big thing here as we are only a very small country town probably 1,500 here so it was great.
Even had a Cessna do an impromptu fly by at allot less than the legal 500 feet but who cares he waggled his wings as a sign of respect gotta love that.

We are buying the ANZAC day commemorative shirts that the embroiderer had to gain special permission from the armed services to use the insignia have '13 & '14 and will get the others each year up to '18
The original concept of the hat badge was the crown protected by a ring of bayonets and was not known as the rising sun, but as time went by it was named this (was told this by a WWII Vet) but it symbolises our forces for ever and a day and I am proud as punch and respectful of our armed service men & women from any era or conflict.

Pics of the shirts (we have 5 2x '13 & 3 x 14's so far) and a COA which comes with each shirt they are numbered and they only do 1,000 each year the Hat badge was the 2013 and the Memorial one is 2014 wore that one today just thought I would share this with you.
