ANZAC Day is a special day in Australia and New Zealand, celebrated on April 25th. It honors soldiers who fought bravely in a big battle during World War I, at a place called Gallipoli, in 1915. "ANZAC" stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. On this day, people remember all soldiers who served their countries by having dawn services and parades. It's a time to think about their courage and the peace they tried to bring. Kids might make or wear red poppies, a symbol of remembrance, to honor these heroes who kept their homes safe.
