If you are staying in Australia - \n\nGo to the Dawn Service in your area, then watch the parade and observe one minute's silence.  After the parade, go to the local pub and have a beer and a game of 2-up.  \n\nThe mood of the day starts as a sombre commemoration of those who gave their lives as well as survivors of our armed services who are scarred by their participation.  After the formal services, it is more about celebrating our way of life.....a few beers and a game of 2-up at the pub.

1. Why not put your question directly to other organisations that have arranged (or are arranging) a candlelight vigil. Here are some (all USA):\n\na) The Pilgrim United Church of Christ, Carlsbad\n"at 7 p.m., attendees can participate in a candlelight vigil 'to support people still struggling with AIDS, to commemorate those who have died and to remember that much work remains yet to be done' ..... For more information call (760) 729-6311 or write pilgrim.ucc@sbcglobal.net."\nhttp://www.nctimes.com/articles/2005/11/30/news/coastal/18_35_1811_29_05.txt\n\nb) Meredith College\n"Meredith College students have organized a weeklong series [of events] in an effort to commemorate World AIDS Day. World AIDS Awareness Week .... is sponsored by the Student Government Association's Unity Council .... Other plans include .... a candlelight vigil on World AIDS Day .... The vigil begins at sunset in front of Johnson Hall."\nSGA President - Megan Hembree (864) 940-4970 hembreem@meredith.edu\nhttp://www.meredith.edu/owor/aids-day.htm\n\nc) University of Utah\n"U of U Event Commemorate World AIDS Day .... To commemorate World AIDS Day, the University and a number of community agencies will host a candlelight vigil and interfaith service"\nAnn Bardsley, U of U Public Relations, News and Communication Specialist Office phone: 801-587-9183\nEmail address: abardsley@ucomm.utah.edu\nhttp://unews.utah.edu/p/?r=031706-20\n\n2. Maybe you could read out the names of people known to have died of AIDS-related illnesses in your community, or any friends or family of members of the youth group who have died.

THE SCHOOL BOARD IN (name of your school, city)\n                                 TAKE HONOUR IN INVITING\n                             MR/MRS/MS (name of the guest)\n\n           to preside the events we are organising to celebrate\n                                     CHILDREN'S DAY\n\n                                   on (date, time, place)\n\nRSVP\n\n- of course you have to make it look special by printing it on special paper, using different fonts and sizes and a festive format and colour.\ngood luck

I feel likewise, every time I hear the last post played  in Australia - every country I'm sure has a remembrance tune/anthem that is equally stirring!   \nMy worry is, do the youth of the nation comprehend and endeavour to uphold?

If it is someone in a religious setting, I believe a nice tribute would be to make a charitable contribution in his/her name to an organization they care about, and send them a heartfelt letter informing them of the contribution, and why you were motivated to make the donation (i.e., how they positively influence your life.)  Over the years, ministers accumulate a wide array of commemorative objects, but the knowlege that he/she has made an impact will probably have lasting, though not tangible, significance.  To really give a better answer, it would help to know the occasion, how many people are giving the gift and how closely the givers know the person.  Good Luck!

Three years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans — the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) — established Decoration Day as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. Maj. Gen. John A. Logan declared that Decoration Day should be observed on May 30. It is believed that date was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country.\n\nActually it is to remember the war dead.\n\n And most people remember it by getting drunk at a barbecue.

At first I want to say that November 11th is the end of the first World War (1914-1918). As someone has already said, we do not celebrate this day like a national holiday. It is a day on which we silently remember the war, our responsibilty for this war and WWII and, which is the most important, we remember the cruelty and and insanity of wars and what can be done in order to prevent anything like WWI and WWII.

If you don't have the moola, you can still have a great evening.  My boyfriend once took me on a late day picnic.  He had made simple things but all which I had mentionned I like.  He wrote me a wonderful card and then he sent me a treasure hunt around his house for a surprise (for me it was earrings but you can use anything cute that you know he likes).  I think if most of your effort go into planning, he will definately see it and enjoy it.  Happy anniversary!

That is a very confusing question. There are many small islands around Australia. The first one that pops into my head is Norfolk Island. Two hundred years ago they sent the worst convicts there but in 2006 it is a tourist destination. Of course, Australia itself is an island. Tasmania is a separate island to mainland Australia but is most definitely part of Australia. 'Current located events'....Moomba is a festival specifically of Melbourne, Victoria, but 'Australia Day' is an event that is celebrated all over Australia.  Australia Day is the 26th January and we get a public holiday. The only problem is deciding which great site to go to.  Sydney Harbour will have festivities throughout the day and probably fireworks at night. You could take a look at www.smh.com.au  which is the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper and is the current events of Sydney.\nCheers.

A cookout is a good way to go this time of year. Burger and hot dogs have someone make homemade chili and slaw. get a bunch of chips and drinks. Cookouts are good. Play music have it in late afternoon or night. Then you wouldn't have to do alot of decorating. make or buy a cake.\nHope you can read i'm out the door\n☺

in israel there are official ceremonies all day long, with everyone remembering their loved ones who perished in the struggle to protect our country... its very emotional because there are, unfortunately, TONS of victims, so every single community has lost someone... in our community we have a girl who lost her sister and father in a terror attack at a resturant, the night before the sister's (who died) wedding. so, this year that girl- who is around 14- wrote a speech about her father and sister, how she misses them, how she manages to keep living...\nall in all, Memorial Day here is very serious and official, very well-respected nationally. on the eve and the morning of the holiday there is a 2 minute siren, in which the ENTIRE country stops whatever they were doing in order to respect and remember the victims...\none very unusual thing here, is that the saddest day of the year turns into the happiest day of the year when, at dusk, memorial day turns into Independance day!!

Are you a patriot? Do you love your country? Would you fight for it? Of course you would, just  like we did in WW1. The Great War, The war to end all wars it was thought. The Anzac tradition lives on to this day. 25/4/06 is our next ANZAC DAY march and we are proud of those who fought to preserve out life, our standards and our patriotism.Does one not have to be patriotic to fight for their country,. to fight for what they believe is good.\nAustralia, belonging to the British Commonwealth, fought along with other nations to fight what was the Great War, WW1,  Many people died for their beliefs, as did those in WW11. And other wars. Those beleifs were patriotism. Love of country.
