Speech On Kokoda Ceremony

The reasons that I will bring forward that emphasise what the Anzac Spirit includes the sacrifices made by men and women, Anzac Day traditions, Australia’s identity and the qualities of the Anzac Spirit.

Both wars are extremely important and significant even to the modern day Australian. Many life’s were lost In the war and we have to be grateful for that. In my opinion the Kokoda campaign was more significant and important than the Gallipoli campaign. The Kokoda campaign was the unofficial last defense for Australia as if Kokoda was captured by the Japanese this gave them the upper hand on the invasion of Australia. Not only was the Kokoda the harder and more physically demanding campaign but also the first campaign that Australia fought on their own which gave a sense of pride and patriotism and also was the last defense before Australia without it Australia would be an open target.

The significance of Kokoda for Australian’s can be seen in many different ways. In a strategic sense and also in a symbolic sense. Firstly, the Kokoda Campaign saved Australia from possible invasion, or more precisely from being isolated from the United States of America . Secondly, Kokoda was the battle that lead to victory in the Second World War, as well as to improvement of Australia’s post-war practices and military operations. Symbolically, the Kokoda Track will be remembered when Australia’s think of the Second World War, just like when you think of the First World War, the landing at Gallipoli looms large, both have captured the Australian imagination. Each year five thousand Australians take up the mentally and physically

World War One is regarded as a major turning point in history and modern warfare which has impacted Australia monumentally, scarring the nation’s history. Australia played a significant role in World War One and the Gallipoli campaign, which is considered the birthplace of the ANZAC legend. These events have immensely shaped Australia as the nation we know of today. World War One began in 1914 from the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and ended in 1918 on November the 11th which is now recognised as a day of mourning and a time given recognition to the lives taken on the battlefield. To a prominent extent, the ANZAC legend is significant to the concept of Australian identity and nationalism through the origins of the ANZAC legend, the key events that have helped form Australia as an independent nation, and in addition to how ANZAC day is commemorated today.

Last year, on the 25th of April was the centenary of the Gallipoli landing. Which, according to the Australian Defence force website, was to be for Australians, “one of the most significant commemorations to take place during their lifetime.” With the centenary looming in the backs of the minds of the Australian people, it is unsurprising that great pains have been taken to construct a three year long celebration that would “encompass a number of historical milestones on Australia 's involvement in conflicts”, such as both World Wars, Korea and Vietnam.

‘A massive increase in the popularity and national significance of ANZAC Day’ (Source 1), grew throughout the twenty-first century. Since the landing of Gallipoli, it has been celebrated and as it continued, it quickly adapted to the cultural change of the media and technology which further improved the growth of its popularity. This day joins all Australians as one, in celebration to show their respect, compassion and pride for those people who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Damian Morgan conveyed the change in society, but also the well-kept, treasured ANZAC Spirit.

Australia’s identity was developed because of the qualities the Australian soldiers demonstrated on the Kokoda Track, despite facing major obstacles. According to Macinnis (2007: 49), the Maroubra Force was “The name given to the mixed troops of

Native Americans are losing their background and where they come from starting with culture and heritage that has been passed down to each generation. Not losing site of that, there is a chance in seeing the positive of preserving and continuing the culture and heritage of the Native Americans and bringing significance to ceremonies.

Paul Keating’s speech ‘funeral service of the unknown Australian soldier’ and Noel Pearson’s speech ‘an Australian history for us all’ have developed and expressed ideas using language appropriate to their audience, purpose and form. Despite the fact, it is fundamentally the speaker’s skills in the construction of the speech that determine its decisive success.

Never has there been a prominent time in my high-school career when my pride for Konawaena has been more evident. My school's football team made it to states where they would come face to face with a team who acquired a similar taste in attaining victory for the season.

The Kokoda campaign during World War 2 in Papua New Guinea – July 1942, was a massive campaign which needed to be victorious for the sake and future of our country. Fighting for our country was the 39th Battalion, who were new soldiers, with a lack of experience in agreement with the question and bad camouflaged uniforms. Included in this text will explain the lack of experience, the terrain and its challenges, an enemy greater than our own and having to fight sickness / disease.

Attention getter: Who was Toto Koopman? Not many people know, or care to know. Most people assume she’s that dog from the Wizard of Oz, but I assure you, Toto Koopman was much, much more interesting.

The traditional wedding dress, beautiful flowers, a fancy cake, the wonderfully decorated church filled with family and close friends…. every little girl dreams of one day having a fairy tale wedding. With little thought around what her husband will be like, what kind of wife she will be or how much this big elaborate wedding will cost, she sees herself as a beautiful bride.
