ANZAC DAY 2024

IN COMMEMORATION
25 April 2024

It's a sad day for me for missing my attendance on this solemn day.  But my heart and thoughts are for all the fallens and for my country, Australia 🇦🇺. 


TRIBUTES:
Everything here is lifted from FB/META





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. 

Today, on Anzac Day, we come together to pay tribute to those who have served and sacrificed for our country. Their courage and selflessness will forever be remembered.

Lest we forget.

Featured Quote on SELF-PORTRAIT



"The self-portrait is a reflection of the personality in a visual, physical sense, as a concrete form, a summary of the external characteristics of the artist, but also in a psychological sense, when the self-portrait becomes a mediator of communication with the self, a medium of self-investigation." ~extracted from ERIC,  online Journal
