^^^Oh, seagrass -- that one really got me. So sweet! And so true. (And in an off-topic aside -- nearly 70 years ago, when my family still owned a cottage in Truro, I helped my mother plant sea grass on a small naked dune that had been forming next to the building, thanks to the town installing "snow" fencing to control the shifting sand, to stabilize the dune.

April 25 is ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand, the equivalent of the US Veterans’ Day. It was chosen because on April 25, 1915. the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps stormed the beaches at Gallipoli in what was ultimately a failed camapign to take the Gallipoli Peninsula from the Turks led by Kemal Attaturk. It was the first campaign in which there were major losses for the ANZACs. There is usually a special service held by Australian and New Zealand participants at Gallipoli on ANZAC Day, which is facilitated by the Turks, and towns all over both countries have a Dawn Service and usually a parade and wreath laying ceremony later in the day for all returned service personnel, as well as other activities commemorating the day.
