In the build up to ANZAC Day, we've had grand announcements about weapons of the future, of geopolitical strategy, and speeches by politicians hailing the Defence Forces.

But it's easy to lose sight of the deep and sometimes conflicting emotions this day can bring for so many people who have served in the military or have family members who have. Three veterans share their thoughts about this national day of remembrance.
