UK Armed Forces Day Saturday 27 June 2009

[Dave]

Armed Forces Day | Honouring Britain's Armed Forces - Past, Present and Future.



The first UK Armed Forces Day will be taking place on Saturday 27 June 2009. It is an annual day to celebrate the work of the Armed Forces community.
Armed Forces Day is an opportunity for the nation to show its support for our Service men and women, whether veteran or still serving. It’s an opportunity to honour and celebrate the work they do in support of our country.




Raising the Flag

At 10:30 on Monday 22 June, hundreds of communities across the UK will simultaneously raise the Armed Forces Day flag, to show their support for our Armed Forces community, and to kick off a week of events and celebrations. It’s the first time the whole country has got together in this way; and you can be part of it, either online or in person.
