Building upon the same tensions found in this familiar story, the speaker shares bittersweet remembrances of Sunday mornings with his father. Like the Christian story of God’s son…

FROM a military failure to honouring strength and courage during times of war, the celebration and remembrance of the Anzacs is a deserved one. From modest beginnings in 1916, Anzac Day has now grown to become Australia's most commemorated day.
