On the Third Hand…

April 25th is Anzac Day on the other side of the big pond.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
— Laurence Binyon, For the Fallen

Thanks are inadequate, mates. For that and other things. But thanks anyway.

Update: OzGuru seems to have the same taste in poetry that I do. And he offers a link to an older post of his with a great explanation of what Anzac day is.

Oh, and quote of the day goes to Debbye of Being American in T.O. for the following:

As an American, I feel honoured to mark this day and to express my gratitude for the enduring fraternity between two of Mother England’s more rambunctious kids.

Heh. Indeed.™ (Recommended reading, too. She’s got lots of good links there. )
