They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
This Remembrance Sunday (9 November), services and parades will be held across Angus, including wreath-laying, to honour those who gave their lives defending our freedoms.
If you have not yet planned to attend and are able, I encourage you to join your community in these important events and pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
If you cannot attend, please take a moment to quietly reflect, alone or with loved ones, and remember the fallen.
Tuesday, 11 November, marks Armistice Day and offers another chance to pay respects. At 11 a.m., whether at home or work, pause for two minutes of silence to honor the bravery and selflessness of our Armed Services.
“We must and will remember them.”
We also express our gratitude to the service men and women who continue to serve our country near and far. As they safeguard us, we will support them.
The past years have been marked by uncertain times, with the cruelty of war brought to us through various media channels.
