    Dawn service - ANZAC Day.

    25th of April. Special day for NZ and AU. Kiera and I went to the dawn service to pay our respects. Huge turn out per usual and good to see. Any mention of Gallipoli stills turns on the emotions for me.

    Also my 10th wedding anniversary today. She's a tolerant girl alright.

    Jeff and all the ANZAC countries. I hope the day is bright and clear, for you all to see the heads and shoulders of those that "gave their all".

    Have a great day.

    Happy anniversary, and Anzac Day. I hope to see a couple friends from Australia at a shoot this weekend, and D.A.Wallace threatened to call me from Queensland this week. It must be Down Under time! I will have to locate an interpreter.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Jeff, a memorable Anzac Day to your country and a Happy Anniversary to you and your family. May the grand alliance of Anzacs, British, Canadians, and Americans last forever, and may it be not needed because it's there.

    Thanks for reminding us Jeff. I bow my head in silent prayer for our fallen Anzac allies on this day. Through thick and thin the Anzacs have been at our side and it does not go unnoticed by many of us on this side of the big pond.

    I hope your Anniversary was a good one, 10 years is a milestone! Best wishes for many many more!

    One of down unders biggest days much like our Memorial Day. Sadly for many here it means little more than a day off work and BBQ. Sad.

    Pretty sneaky though, marry her on one of your most important days. Makes it very hard to forget huh? Happy anniversary.

    Happy anniversary. May we never forget our forefathers who have gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and our country. I have bowed my head and said a prayer for all their souls.

    Blessings on you and your family, Jeff. I will never forget that our brothers in arms from Australia, New Zealand and Canada also shed their blood in defense of freedom.

    Happy anniversary Jeff and have a great ANZAC Day to all of our Aussie and Kiwi members. I have a hat pin made with a small vile of sand from Gallipoli. It is pinned to my Slouch Hat that hangs on my wall with the rest of my important service memorabilia. My family will never forget to honor the sacrifices made by those that day.

    Best wishes,

    Happy Anniversary to Jeff and your VERY tolerant better half!

    Best wishes to my brothers and sisters in arms in Australian and New Zealand, and a prayer and a salute for those who have given all.
