Falkland Islands: Veterans
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, in the context of the 40th anniversary of the liberation of the Falkland Islands, what plans his Department has to celebrate veterans of the Falklands War.
- Answer
-
Our veterans' contribution to the Armed Forces, and to society at large, is of enormous value and deserves the recognition it is given. Veterans of the Falklands conflict have rightly earned, and deserve, the support not just of this Government, but the country as a whole.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is working closely with partners to ensure that commemorative events for veterans and the bereaved are supported in the most appropriate way, both across the United Kingdom and in the Falkland Islands.
The MOD is supporting a Royal British Legion Falklands 40th anniversary event at the National Memorial Arboretum on 14 June 2022. The event will be for veterans, civilian enablers to the deployment, families of the bereaved, and VIPs, though members of the public will be welcome. The all-day event will come together with a service of remembrance followed by a reception.
