When they sign up, our military personnel pledge to protect us, even if it means putting their own safety at risk.  

Armed Forces Week, 24 - 30 June, is a chance for us all to say thank you to those serving and to veterans from all generations.  

These selfless individuals have given so much to our country, to preserve the freedoms we enjoy today.

It’s only fitting that there’s a date in the calendar where we come together as a nation to show our gratitude to everyone in the Armed Forces community. This includes serving personnel, veterans, reservists, cadets and their families. 

Join us in celebrating Reserves Day on 26 June and Armed Forces Day on 29 June. Let’s show our gratitude and respect, and #SaluteOurForces this Armed Forces Week.
