🌿Lest We Forget: Honouring the ANZAC Legacy and the Sacrifice for Freedom🎖️

April 25, 2025 • ALL SEASONS WORKFORCE AUSTRALIA

 

A Legacy Carved in Sacrifice

On 25 April each year, Australians and New Zealanders pause to honour those who served and sacrificed in military conflicts, particularly during the Gallipoli campaign of World War I. ANZAC Day is one of our most significant national occasions, marking the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces in 1915. At All Seasons Workforce Australia, we believe in the importance of recognising and remembering our veterans—past and present—who fought not just for our freedom, but for future generations.

 

LEST WE FORGET, THEY GAVE THEIR TOMORROW FOR OUR TODAY.
WE ARE FOREVER IN THEIR DEBT.

 

The Significance of ANZAC Day

 

ANZAC Day is commemorated annually on 25 April, remembering the landing of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) on the shores of Gallipoli in 1915. What was meant to be a swift campaign quickly turned into a prolonged and grueling conflict under devastating conditions. Though the Gallipoli campaign did not achieve its military objectives, the bravery, endurance and mateship displayed by the ANZACs left a powerful legacy.

Across cities and small towns, Australians gather to reflect, remember and pay their respects. It is a time to attend dawn services, lay wreaths at memorials, and observe moments of silence. These traditions ensure the spirit of the ANZAC lives on through generations, and they remind us of the values that continue to shape our national identity.

 

Honouring the ANZAC Spirit

ANZAC Day stands as a solemn day of remembrance for the men and women who served Australia and New Zealand in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. It was at Gallipoli that the ANZAC legend was born, characterised by courage, resilience and absolutely solid comradeship in the face of hardship.

At All Seasons Workforce Australia, we hold the ANZAC spirit close to our values: integrity, hard work and community. Just as the ANZACs stood together with steadfast dedication, we strive to build a workforce based on trust, commitment and purpose.

 

Why We Must Never Forget

The freedom we enjoy today is a direct result of the selfless acts of those who came before us. Their sacrifices deserve more than a passing thought, they deserve a permanent place in our national consciousness.

 

To forget is to dishonour their memory. As generations pass, it becomes our responsibility to ensure that the stories of our veterans are not lost but carried forward. Schools, communities and organisations must keep educating and commemorating.

 

By reflecting on the past, we build a better, more united future.

 

How You Can Pay Your Respects

  1. Attend a Dawn Service or Commemorative March in your local area.
  2. Wear a sprig of rosemary or an ANZAC badge as a symbol of remembrance.
  3. Observe a moment of silence, especially at 6am or 11am. A simple yet powerful act.
  4. Share Stories: Pass down the legacy of our servicemen and women to future generations.
  5. Support Veterans’ Organisations: Donate or volunteer to help those who have served.
