We Will Remember Them.
As the country builds up to November 11 – Armistice Day – all our thoughts turn to the sacrifices of those who have fought for our country. From the First World War to the Falklands, the Battle of Britain to Baghdad and beyond, our Armed Forces are the best of us all. Remembrance activities in the UK – and here in the South West – are led by the Royal British Legion. The RBL supports the Armed Forces community in a myriad of ways, with hundreds of thousands of volunteers doing what they can to honour not only the fallen, but those still serving – and their families. We want to show our respect, and give something back. Your New Blackmore Vale magazine is publishing your messages to our Armed Forces. For a donation of £10 or more – all of which will go to the RBL – we will publish your message of up to 25 words. It can be dedicated to one of The Fallen, a veteran, serving personnel or our brave forces in general. “We are passionate about supporting our Armed Forces, as we know the people of Dorset are too,” said publisher David Armishaw. “This is one way we can show our appreciation of those who take care of us each and every day – and we are proud to do so.” Simply follow the instructions below to place your message, and we will remember them.
