Good comment & your last part about the current lawlessness is valid. It does not surprise me as the concept of discipline has been abandoned by some & if children are more or less allowed to choose what they want to be doing from a young age it is inevitable that some will go off track by the time they are teenagers.

I massively respect them & do get emotional when hearing and listening. I had grandparents who fought on occasions with them in WW2 – hence why I became 2nd gen born in NZ. 8th May is my whanua’s VE day of remembrance but I have no one here to share this with – I would not wish to impose my family medals on ANZAC day as they were not ANZACs.
On another note I find NZ’s current lawlessness disrespectful to all now and before us.
