Day Forces Armed UK

I think awareness for the work that has been done and is occurring by military forces is a good idea. Showing up at public events and such is a place where the military can show they are not there just to kill but to add to a countries well being in all aspects.

UK Armed Forces Day

This is the first National armed forces day in the UK, and I think there is plenty of support out there for our Royal Navy air force and British army.

People have been showing their support by having car stickers in their car windows, and custom made jewelry and wrist bands.

I feel it's important ads they are playing a very important role in keeping our country safe.
