Show Them You Remember

Take the time to..

• Thank our veterans for the sacrifices they have made.


• Thank those who fought in wars, as well as those who are fighting the current war in Afghanistan, protecting our freedom.


• Thank those who left their families to battle in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.


• Thank those who did battle on the ground,in the the air and in the seas.


• Thank those most importantly, who didn't return.


• Thank them for their sacrifices, it's not the only day veterans should be thanked, but it's the least we can do to honour those who fought.
