With the joy of brilliant sunshine, blue skies (most of the time) and beautiful surroundings here in Spain and our busy lives full of work, family and social commitments, although not intentional, it is easy for us to forget what all those ‘uniformed services’ (Armed Forces) and their families have endured and are currently enduring in order for us to experience that happy and peaceful lifestyle.
The 28th June is the day to join as a collective force to celebrate and honour all the services and their families at a Parade of various Associations and Organisations Standards, led by the Torrevieja Pipes & Drums at Capilla De Las Mil Palmeras with a service by Pastor Phil Molloy.
Although we refer to it as Armed Forces Day, it encompasses all military services along with all civilian services, including the Guardia Civil and Policia etc; all of whom work collectively for the benefit of our future.
The Shipmates (S/M’s) of the Royal Naval Association Torrevieja Branch (RNATB) are extremely proud and privileged to organise and lead the celebration and tribute to all Armed Forces.
Tony Jenkins – Chairman of RNATB
