National Armed Forces Day - Saturday 27th June

Postby Stritchy on Thu Feb 26, 2009 11:34 pm

To honour the men and women of our armed forces, the Northants & Milton Keynes Branch are having a run to the National Arboretum http://www.thenma.org.uk on that day.
It would be nice if a few other Branches and members were to join us there and pay their respects to the living, and the dead who have given their lives for this country :o))

I thought that is what we did on 11th November :o?

I would have thought a National Armed Forces Day, would be to celebrate and give thanks to those presently serving?

From the TV advertising for the armed forces - all fun and excitement - I would have thought a more 'up-beat' event was called for :o? What sort of event are the local British Legion organising? Perhaps you could join them.

That's true Barry, but I want to visit the Arboretum and this is a perfect reason :)

Quite why we had to have another thread for this opened after the Help for Heroes day one I am not sure as they were all part and parcel of the same thing. Hey Ho.

That aside good day out. Stayed dry and saw the bands and the flags and the 40's show. All made for a good day out showing support for all the forces wherever they are.

Thanks for leading Strytch but I had an even better ride home nowhere near Tamworth.
