Let's celebrate ANZAC Day whilst also celebrating the freedom the ANZACS fought for!
Do unvaccinated voices matter? Don't ALL voices really matter?
As the daughter of a WW II veteran and someone whose birthday just happens to be on April 25th, the ANZACS have always meant a great deal to me!
I value and treasure those who have voluntarily put their lives on the line to keep me and mine safe and mourn for those who were lost in the line of duty.
But today, we see the service of both military and police forces being utillised - not for the good of the people - but to protect those who are actively involved in killing, harming and enslaving us all.
The attempt to pass an Aboriginal Voice referendum that seems intended to steal even more from the original Australians rather than to provide them with the honour they deserve (the same honour we all deserve) is the last straw as far as I’m concerned.
We are all Australians.
We are all entitled to be heard.
We are all entitled to be respected.
We are all entitled to our inalienable rights and freedoms.
And whilst thinking about this and considering what ANZAC Day actually means - and the fact that ALL Australians - original and immigrant - fought for freedom in our wars, I thought that perhaps ANZAC Day celebrations should encompass what is happening now.
We are seeing our freedom destroyed in ways that would have sent our forefathers running for their weapons to fight against - not foreign invaders - but their own government.
Because they valued freedom enough to lay their lives on the line to protect it.
We should honour that sacrifice by - at the very least - standing up together against those who would make a mockery of their service.
Might I respectfully suggest that on April 25th this year, wherever we happen to be in this wonderful country, we spare 5 minutes to hold those we love and care about close and consider how terrible it would be if we once again lost that ability to be close to them and to hold them due to insane policies and illegal mandates?
I am not calling for rallies or protests. I am calling for each one of us to stand in our power, to love our families, our neighbours and our country and, through that love, to support our precious, precious freedoms including our voices which those in power have tried so hard to silence. In that way, we will manifest the REAL Australian voice.
Meryl, you need to check the picture and have it edited again. People don’t usually have five fingers (as well as a thumb) on one hand. 💞
Are you proposing to use ANZAC day to protest vaccines?
