Remembrance Day Service to be held November 9

~~Adz:Right~~ Roadtown, Tortola - Saturday, October 25 marks the start of the 2008 Poppy Appeal culminating on Poppy and Remembrance Sunday on November 9.

Remembrance Day Service will be held at the St. George’s Episcopal Anglican Church on Sunday, November 9 at 8:30 a.m. All uniformed organisations and ex-servicemen and women are invited to participate. His Excellency the Governor, the Premier, and other public officials will also participate.

Members of the public are invited to attend the Service, and also are encouraged to purchase poppies and wear them on Remembrance Day.

Started by servicemen and women to make sure later generations never forget the suffering caused by the 1914-1919 World War, the wearing of poppies on Remembrance Day has become much more than a tribute to the dead; it is also a symbol of remembrance, compassion and caring for all victims of war.
