While I am sure that the sentiments were kindly meant I feel
obliged to point out that ANZAC Day is our special National
day for remembering the sacrifices made by Australian and
New Zealand armed forced personnel, from those that were in
WW1 (including those at the landing in ANZAC Cove) right up
to those who serve now in overseas postings.
To say "Happy ANZAC Day" is rather like saying "Happy
Memorial Day" to an American, or "Hapy Rememberance Day"
(Nov 11 - also observed in Australia) to a Briton. As an
ex-Service person I associate many sentiments with ANZAC
Day, but none of them are happy. It is indeed a Public
Holiday here, but record numbers of people attended solemn
dawn rememberance services and watched marches in towns and
cities across our two countries today.
I truly thank you for your good wishes. I just wanted you
to know what ANZAC Day means to most of us Downunder.
I join you in wishing all our Italian friends a Happy
Liberation Day!

Sorry, I didn't want to hurt any feeling and I will never ever post it
again.
As many people here knows, English is NOT my first language (it's
actually my fourth one) and I only tried to convey my deepest feelings
of gratitude to all of them who died in Europe for our freedom during I
and IIWW.
I even searched if it was correct to say "Happy Anzac Day" and yes, I
found that by google.
Once again, sorry, I'll never write anymore on this or any other occasion.
