What Does ANZAC Mean?

As ANZAC day approaches I began to wonder how it will be structured this year.

Over the last few years there have been increasing pressures to commercialise the event. This has largely been resisted although many tour operators have made substantial profits from running "pilgrimages" to ANZAC cove. In the main the event retains its semi-religious status as a "sacred" day - despite Crown being granted trading status again.

I assume our "leaders" will be displayed and we'll hear them chanting the mantra that all wars a bad but we should support our boys and girls currently upholding the ANZAC tradition "over there". We'll have the reports from 'the Cove' showing us pictures of young men and women by candlelight and the scenes of older men and women 'remembering'. We'll see pictures of the little boy or girl with a flag, and one somewhat older marching with his or her granddad's medals.

The video and audio packages will be well produced and slick. There will be solemn voice-overs and whispered commentary - all of which is meant to convey the depth of feeling we should have on what is, for our nation, the closest we come to the quasi religious-militaristic displays we see from the US on July 4th.

The experts will once more polish up their knowledge of the battles fought - but with the last of the original ANZACS now gone, the order of importance placed on battles will change in the scripts, currently being finessed and edited.
