Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Dawn services, and services at other times during the morning, are held at war memorials in small and large communities. This tradition started in Albany, Western Australia on 25 April 1923. Services begin before dawn, as members of the defence services march to their local memorial (almost every town, large and small, in New Zealand and Australia, have a war memorial, or an "ANZAC Square") where members of the public and community leaders join them for a Dawn Service.
The capital cities also have marches through the city streets, usually to the war memorial or Cross of Sacrifice where a commemorative service is held. The state Governor takes the salute. Veterans of all wars in which Australia has been involved are remembered, not just those of Gallipoli. Present day serving members of the armed forces also march, with music provided by pipe and other community and service bands. Public attendance at the events is increasing in recent years.
The ANZAC Day march is usually followed by social gatherings of veterans, hosted either in a pub or in an RSL Club, often including a traditional Australian gambling game called "two-up", which was an extremely popular past-time with ANZAC soldiers.

Australia and New Zealand celebrate ANZAC To remember the people that died and suffered for our freedom for our happiness
ANZAC Day is commemorated (not celebrated) by people who live in Australia and New Zealand. No doubt Italians who live in these countries do commemorate ANZAC Day, especially Italians who have accepted citizenship of these countries.
ANZAC Day is not a celebration, it is a commemoration and remembrance of the sacrifice made by others on our behalf. ANZAC Day is on the 25th of April and commemorates the landing of ANZAC troops at Gallipoli during World War 1. ANZAC stands for "Australia and New Zealand Army Corps" and it is a connection we will have with the Kiwis forever.
