Today is Anzac day, which is the day where Australia and New Zealand remember the efforts, sacrifices, and the heroes who passed fighting in "all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations." (Thanks Wiki!) Thankfully, due to my travels and meeting wonderful people all over the world I knew about it beforehand; and this day is the analog for what the rest of the Commonwealth does on Remembrance Day (November 11th), or what the United States celebrates on Veterans Day (November 11th). As an aside, it's hard to imagine that there was a time back when professional athletes would go fight wars because the need was so great.
