This year Advocates Online have a soldier walking 300 kms from Holsworthy Barracks in South Western Sydney to Canberra to arrive on ANZAC Day at the Australian War Memorial on ANZAC Parade Canberra.  He is wearing the WW1 uniform and carrying the Australian flag with pride as he passes through each town on his way. I have so much respect for this man and all of those supporting him on his long walk, honouring all those that gave their lives in all wars, that we may live.

I actually lived near Holsworthy Barracks when I was younger and before that I lived in the Camden area at The Oaks so I know the area well and the route taken, and living in Canberra for 31 years now. Funny how there has always been a military presence around me since I came to Australia as a child. 

I have so much respect for our military, the ANZAC legend and history.
