In recent years Anzac Day (at least, in Aus.; I can't speak for NZ) has tended to be more nationalistic in tone. I get the impression that the day used to be about making sure the horrors of war were never forgotten, whereas now it seems to be more a recounting of heroic deeds.

Do you think that war commemoration has changed in your lifetime, and what do you think we should be principally thinking of on Anzac Day?
