U.S. Family's Anzac Day Experience! What is ANZAC DAY?

ANZAC Day in Australia was such a cool experience! ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Core. It is celebrated each April 25th in commemoration of when Australia and New Zealand came together in 1915 as part of the Allied Forces in WWI. This morning, the boys and Dad went to the ANZAC dawn service bright and earlier. The music, speakers, prayers, and celebration were patriotic and powerful. We loved hearing the New Zealand and Australia national anthems as well as Dad's favorite son, Amazing Grace. Later this morning, Mom, Dad, and the littles went to the commemoration parade. It was completely focused on the armed forces and public servicemen and women in a simple, yet profound fashion. Both Mom and Dad got chocked up as we clapped along with all the other spectators. It was special to really honor these amazing men and women who sacrificed their time, families, conveniences and even their lives for the freedoms of their countries and of the world. It was a patriotic day we are grateful we could be a part of and that we will never forget. #ourbackmanfamily #livelovecreate #familyvlog #travelvlog #americanfamilyvlog #americanfamily #bigfamilyvlog #vloggerfamily #happyfamily #bigfamily #happyfamily #livingourbestlife #travel #worldschooling #worldschool #LDSworldschoolers #worldschoolers #worldtravel #costarica #mexico #europe #Philippines #philippinesvlog #filipinovlog #Thailand #Thai #thailandtravel #thailandvlog #Bali #Australia #australiavlog #brisbaneaustralia
