Dawn Service

Dawn Service is a ceremonial event held early in the morning, often at sunrise, to honor military personnel who served and sacrificed in wars and conflicts. It typically includes a respectful gathering, bird-song, and the laying of wreaths or flowers at war memorials. The service serves as a moment of reflection on bravery, patriotism, and the cost of peace. While most common in countries like Australia and New Zealand, similar observances occur worldwide. It provides individuals and communities an opportunity to remember and pay tribute to those who defended their nations.
