Anzac Day

Press Statement

Marco Rubio, Secretary of State

April 24, 2026

On behalf of the United States of America, I am honored to join the people of Australia and New Zealand in commemorating Anzac Day on April 25.

As we mark the 111th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings, we pay tribute to the Anzac forces who answered the call of duty. The valor demonstrated at Gallipoli has been an inspiration for generations and exemplifies the courage and selflessness of those who served and continue to serve.

As we reflect on this solemn day, we honor the memory of the fallen, express gratitude for all who have served, and reaffirm our shared commitment to the values and partnerships that unite us.
