“Thank you for your service”, that's all you have to say.
And whilst a source of national pride and strength, the ANZAC legend for many is bitter sweet.
A typical Anzac Day ceremony may include the following features: an introduction, hymn, prayer, an address, laying of wreaths, a recitation, the Last Post, a period of silence, either the Rouse or the Reveille, and the national anthem.
we will remember them. At the Anzac Day ceremony, an invited speaker often recites The Ode and upon his or her completion of the recitation, those present repeat the last words 'We will remember them'. After a short pause this is followed by 'Lest we forget'.
The one thing you should never say on Anzac Day after war veteran declared 'it's not appropriate' Australians have been warned to avoid saying 'Happy Anzac Day' as thousands of people turn out for commemorative services across the country.
It is to commemorate the lives offered by the ANZAC or the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. It is these two nations' pride that their citizens carry to this day.
1. G'day. One of the first things you'll hear when in Australia, is the classic “G'day, mate”, which is basically the same as saying, “good day”, or “hello”. So feel free to use this one from day 1 and watch the smiles around you as people respond with, “g'day mate”, which means “hello, friend”.

What is Anzac Day? Anzac Day, 25 April, is one of Australia's most important national occasions. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.
Thank you for your service to this country. Your bravery, sacrifice, and strength do not go unnoticed, and we will always be indebted to you and your family for all that you have given to the country. I would like to thank you very much for your service! Thank you for your time, bravery, and sacrifice for this country.
Now, imagine if someone does something you're really thankful for, you'd say thanks heaps. So if you're having computer problems and IT comes and saves the day, you'd say "thanks heaps mate!" And finally, ta, this is a fancy way of saying thank you.
Thank you for your service! Thank you for your sacrifices, for your valor, for the things you carry, for protecting us, and for defending our rights. Thank you to all our veterans for your courage, strength and dedication to keeping us safe.
There is no rule or law that indicates how the word 'Anzac' should be capitalised. For example, DVA only uses 'ANZAC' when referencing the Corps itself and uses 'Anzac' in all other circumstances; the Australian War Memorial (AWM) generally uses 'ANZAC', given its focus on historical records and memorabilia.
Anzac came to stand for the positive qualities which Australians have seen their forces show in war. These qualities are generally accepted to include endurance, courage, ingenuity, good humour, and mateship.
Borrowed from a line in a well-known poem written in the 19th century, the phrase 'lest we forget' means 'it should not be forgotten'. We say or write 'lest we forget' in commemorations to remember always the service and sacrifice of people who have served in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.
1. “How ya goin'?” “How ya goin'?” is the ultimate Aussie greeting.
The most common verbal greeting is a simple “Hey”, “Hello”, or “Hi”. Some people may use Australian slang and say “G'day” or “G'day mate”. However, this is less common in cities. Many Australians greet by saying “Hey, how are you?”.
I believe the salutation you're looking for is "lest we forget." This phrase is used in Return Service League clubs across Australia (the 'A' part of ANZAC) when referring to those who served in First and Second World Wars. Though used generally, it's particularly common on ANZAC Day.
Wishing a very Happy Anzac Day to everyone. Happy Anzac Day. May our freedom serve as a constant reminder to us all of our heroic soldiers. Let us all strive this Anzac Day to be the kind of citizens that all our fallen heroes can be proud of.
