U.S. Marines Observe ANZAC Day in Australia 

Its wonderful to see a US Marine honoring our soldiers..

It's not just to commemorate the Gallipoli Landings as this guy said. The date marks the Gallipoli Landings as the first significant action the Aussies fought in WW1, but it is the day that commemorates all Australian servicemen and women who have fought in all wars in the service of Australia, from the 2nd Boer War of 1899-1902, WW1, WW2, Malayan Emergency, Korea, Indonesian Confrontation, Vietnam, Peacekeeping operations in Rwanda, Somalia, East Timor, to those who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, and other operations around the world. Anzac Day also remembers the >100,000 Australians who have been killed in those wars in the last 118 years under the Australian flag.

Fun fact: America's first combat experience in WW1 was under Australian command.

It's means a lot to see Americans honouring Anzac Day in Australia. Thank you all.

The USMC have a long association with Australia. The 1st Marine Division have the Southern Cross on their patch and Waltzing Matilda is their marching song.

To the us marines it's an honour that the Australian army trains with you

True story, the Marines on Guadalcanal when they went to Austraila for rest and refit were wearing Autralian P-37 Uniforms with US patches sewn on during the award ceremonies because Dress Blues dont go to war. John Basilone recieving his Medal of Honor is in an Australian pattern uniform. I noticed in the show the Pacific then went and found every photo I could from that time to confirm.

Australia has fought with america in every conflict we’ve been in for the past 100 years. True brothers in arms!

US Military...respect

actually touching, good man

My Great-Grandfather (Sgt. Hugh Cummins) was part of the 4th Australian Light Horse Brigade to liberate Beersheeba on 31st October, 1917. He took a bullet to his knee but saw out the campaign - returned to Australia and retired a highly decorated soldier at the end of WW1. He never wore his medals, never marched in an ANZAC Day parade and always denounced war as a racket perpetuated by weak-willed men in Public Office at the behest of their industrialist/corporatist overlords. He died in the mid-1970s from a fragment of that bullet he took to his knee that continued to float around in his system until it caused him a massive stroke. To this day, in honour of his service and sacrifice; every year on ANZAC Day I still choose a random RSL club to visit where I buy a round for every Digger, former and current, who happens to be in there at the time. I tell the story of my Great-Grandfather and listen to the fellas tell theirs. I look forward to it every year and I know he would've appreciated it. War IS a racket... War is hell... but that doesn't mean that those young men should ever be forgotten. I just wish I was old enough at the time he passed to remember him better than I do now. RIP Sgt. Cummins... forever my hero.

:'-( my great great uncle died while in Royal Navy due to those wars :(

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. Laurence Binyon. Excerpt from "For the Fallen"

Respect to USA 🇺🇸 and Australia 🇦🇺 Militarily they can keep the peace in the Northern Hemisphere 🇺🇸 and Southern Hemisphere 🇦🇺

Yanks helped to save our Arses in the battle of the Coral Sea during WW2 .. s good on the Americans.

We’re also the only foreign nation the US navy has named ships after. The USS Canberra.

Did they mention New Zealanders like the place where I from but I’m happy that the US celebrates anzac

i think LEST WE FORGET applies to all countries fallen soldiers

And of course, NZ in ANZAC represents New Zealand.

Lest we forget

Gentleman.

👍🙏🇦🇺🇳🇿🇺🇸🙏

Lest. We. Forget. (Manus, Nauru, Syria, Palestine)

Just not when Dan Andrews is premier

Lest we forget

ANZAC Day is about celebrating and remembering all those who have sacrificed for Australia & New Zealand not just those who died but all who served. It started with Gallipoli but has come to represent all servicemen & Women who have served

to all our american friends you guys are a bit wierd but we appreciate you

The fact that ANZAC day was cancelled last year is one of the worst things the government has ever done to this country

Proud to be an Canadian Australian and the Canadian Royal Newfoundland Regiment fought in the Gallipoli campaign and 49 Canadian lost their lives.

The US and Aus military, two of the most balls to the all’s countries

Geezuz... Those Navy recruits need a few more laps of the parade ground at Cerberus. 😆

Greatest respect to honour another country's military service.

👍🏻🇺🇸🇦🇺🇺🇸🇦🇺👍🏻🕊

It's great to see a US Marine honouring our soldiers, thank you

wonderful to see australians honoring the Marines.

Another government robot. Except he’s a marine.

Australia couldn’t have a better mate than the Americans. Oohrah!

Its a march NOT a parade! There is a difference!

Gallipoli

And not a New Zealand flag in sight.

its not uncommon to personify ones own country, and to know your country has good allies that have its back, is like knowing it has good mates.

15 people don't want to live in Australia

Aye that's Darwin :)

Lovely

Aussie Aussie Aussie!

I'm Australian and don't observe ANZAC day, but foreign troops who show respect to national sacrifices have my full respect.
