24.01.2022 We have our own Profile Picture Frame Try it today

23.01.2022 Dear Australian media and the general public, its time for an ANZAC Day education. Below is a list of things that current, and former members, of the Australia...n and New Zealand Defence Force would like to point out prior to ANZAC Day: 1. ANZAC Day marks the anniversary of the Gallipoli Campaign of WWI. ANZAC is an acronym for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps. Its written as ANZAC, not Anzac. 2. Each year on the 25th of April we reflect on all Defence Force personnel, past and present, and the sacrifices theyve made. It is a solemn day, treat it as such. 3. ANZAC Day is one of Australias most important national occasions. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during WWI. 4. Traditionally, Rosemary is worn on ANZAC Day. Rosemary is found growing wild on the Gallipoli peninsula. Thats why its significant. 5. The RED Poppy symbolises peace, death and sleep of the fallen servicemen/woman. While the PURPLE Poppy represents remembrance of the animal victims of war. The ORANGE Poppy represents the acknowledgement of the Service families, and also acknowledges the families loss due to veteran suicide. The WHITE Poppy worn between 1918 - 1939 symbolises the wearers commitment to peace. Learn the difference! 6. We commemorate ANZAC Day, not celebrate it. Its not a bloody party. 7. At dawn on the 25th of April 1915, soldiers rowed ashore in boats called lighters during the Gallipoli landings, under fire and without outboards motors. 8. Its a bugle, not a trumpet. The Last Post is sounded, not played. Its not a dance tune. 9. Not every serviceman/woman were soldiers. Some were Sailors and Airmen. Please take the time to ascertain what Service they served in, and use the correct terminology. It means a hell of a lot to us!!! 10. Theyre medals, not badges. Theyre citations, not pins. Please learn the difference. 11. Medal recipients wear their medals on the left side of their chest covering their heart; family members/descendants wear the medals on the right side of their chest. 12. No, I am not wearing my fathers or grandfathers medals, they are mine. I earned them during my Service. 13. Medals, ribbons and Unit Citations are EARNED, not WON. Its not a chook raffle. They are awarded to the recipient, not given to them. 14. Yes, I am allowed to wear my Return From Active Service badge on any bloody day of the year that I choose to wear it. Get over it. And no, its not a bloody Medal. 15. Australian and New Zealand soldiers did not retreat from Gallipoli, they withdrew. 16. It really doesnt matter which side you wear your Poppy on, as long as its worn with pride. Traditionally, men on the left breast and women on the right breast. 17. Please, dont try to draw comparisons between sports players and war veterans. Ive never seen a sports player perform acts of heroism whilst under fire, to protect their fellow Service personnel, flag and Country. 18. ANZAC Day isnt a day to go and watch, or play sport. Show some bloody respect to the brave men and women in uniform, past and present, who fought for the blanket of freedom that you currently sleep under. 19. Having a few drinks and playing 2 up is an ANZAC Day tradition. Getting shit faced, picking fights and acting like a bloody yobbo isnt. 20. Lest We Forget isnt a throwaway line, it actually has meaning: its an expression of remembrance, par excellence. It has dignified origins, a rich history. Dont misuse or disrespect it. 21. The Ode comes from the poem "For the Fallen", written by Laurence Binyon. The verse, which is commonly known as The Ode Of Remembrance, is as follows: "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them." Lest We Forget Here endeth the lesson.

05.01.2022 The Logan City Community Cadets Inc commemorated ANZAC Day 2020 as they do each year. albeit very differently. There were no Catafalque Partys for the VV&VMC Qld Chapter, the Logan Village RSL or Jimboomba RSL and no marches in the Main Parades for Jimboomba RSL or Greenbank RSL. Instead, we fully supported RSL Queensland in the "Light up the Dawn" campaign and held our own individual driveway services. The dedication of our Staff, Cadets, Recruits and parents is second to... none. #LightuptheDawn #ANZACSpirit

04.01.2022 THE LCCC Inc held a Remembrance Day ceremony at the Browns Plains Cadet Depot last night. Once again our Drill Team and Drum Corp showed their dedication and talent. Thank you to our special guests, Lance, Jeff and Nigel who represented the Beaudesert RSL, Greenbank RSL and the Vietnam Veterans and Veterans Motorcycle Club.

01.01.2022 The Logan City Community Cadets Inc participate in many ANZAC Day Services throughout the Logan area every year. We proudly provide the Catafalque Party and Flag Orderlies for several of the Services.
