The Falkland Islands Legislative Assembly proudly commemorates Armed Forces Day on the 29th of June, honoring the brave service-people who serve and have served in the Armed Forces. This day serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by service members and allows the community to express gratitude for the freedom and democracy enjoyed by the Falkland Islanders due to these sacrifices.
MLA Jack Ford, portfolio holder for Island Security, expressed gratitude, stating, “We owe a deep debt of gratitude to the members of our Armed Forces, whose dedication and courage ensure the safety and security of our nation.” Armed Forces Day is a time to recognize their contributions and reflect on the freedoms enjoyed because of the service of His Majesty’s Armed Forces, the Falkland Islands Defense Force, and Falkland Islanders serving in HM Forces overseas.
Together as a community, we stand in support of military personnel, veterans, and their families, acknowledging their vital role in safeguarding our way of life.
