Why do we honour ANZAC day?

AS WE honor our fallen heroes,
Who offered up their life
On a battle field so dreary,
In the fierce battles strife,
Do we think of the great Commander
Who died in battle too,
In the great war 'twixt error and truth,
Dying for me and you?

He was Commander in Chief, and General,
A "Captain of the Host;"
He was Chaplain, and Nurse, and Sentinel,
Who never slept at His post;
He was Quatermaster and Surgeon,
Held the Banner of Love and Faith,
Tho' He came as a lowly Private
And loved not His life to the death.

Altho' He came as man's substitute,
He was a willing vounteer!
Willingly died for one and all
On the cross so gloomy and drear.
Oh! what can we give this Hero,
Who died for one and all?
Only the flowers of service to Him,
Who came at humanity's call.

In Australia, not America. I'm in OZ. I find it a waste of time considering we should be honouring Jesus more. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand something or other in the war together.
