Living in NZ there are very few of us who do not have family members who fought (some of which lost their lives) in most of the major conflicts of last century, standing along side Americans, British, Australians and a multitude of other countries. The importance of this for NZers is evidenced by the rememberance of ANZAC day in our country. Being a young NZer myself and knowing what those before me sacrificed for the freedom we all experience when the call is made I will again stand alongside the rest of the world in this war regardless of what my Prime Minister says. By not doing so would be to deny the legacy left to us by those who fought for our future in wars past.
