He/she used 3 different names and 3 different email addresses all of which looked bogus. The comments were inappropriate and inflammatory and showed no respect for the day Australians regard as special. I have treated the comments in the same way I treat the hundreds of spam comments I get every week. As owner and moderator of this site I reserve the right to approve or delete comments.

You are right about the younger generation and it is so great to see renewed interest in what has become our most sacred day. There is no common greeting used in Australia for ANZAC Day, except for perhaps the usual laconic, laid back Aussie greeting used on all occasions, "G'Day Mate." Mateship - looking after your friend or neighbour no matter what - is so Australian and has been forged from terrible times of hardship - floods, drought, war, fire. Mateship is the very essence of the "Anzac spirit". Apart from the very solemn and sombre dawn services and street marches, the day is usually celebrated by drinking with mates, usually to excess, family BBQs and going to the footy (Aussie Rules Football) in the afternoon.

Happy ANZAC Day doesn't sound right. What greeting do you use for this day? It’s good to see young people remembering their history, the context of of where we are.
