This is the time of year when we all remember the bravery and sacrifice of our veterans, past and present, who have given so much to this nation. Many have paid a very high price for their service and far too many have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Every one of us owes these brave men and women a debt of honour and that is why the work that we do everyday is so important. We give people their lives back, installing a new found sense of pride and direction. We enable people to start again.
I am proud of the work we do and proud to be part of an organisation like Royal British Legion Industries. Every one of us should share that sense of pride and redouble our efforts to reach as many of those in need as possible.
“They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”
Laurence Binyon, For the Fallen
