Amazing ๐ VJday day with Amazing people.
What an amazing and meaningful day we shared together as we remembered VJ Day and honoured the brave veterans who served and sacrificed for our freedom.
A very special thank you to Joe Roberts, ex-Royal Engineers and a member of the Veterans Hub Chesterfield & Buddy Buddy Veteran Group for accepting our invitation to visit Holmewood Care Home and for giving us such a beautiful and heartfelt speech about veterans, their service and the importance of remembering their stories. โค๏ธ
We would also like to say a huge thank you to Lisa McKenzie, Director of Walton Knitter Group Chesterfield, who kindly joined us with Denise. Thank you for your encouragement, kindness and for bringing so many lovely gifts for our residents. ๐โค๏ธ
It was truly a beautiful day filled with remembrance, friendship, stories and togetherness. We are so grateful to our relatives and friends for their continued support and for helping us make these special occasions so meaningful.
Today, and always, we remember our veterans with gratitude and respect. Because of their courage and sacrifice, we are blessed to live in freedom and liberty.
๐บ Lest we forget.

"We are proud of our heroes,
Who paid the ultimate cost,
Although weโve won wars,
Many battles weโve lost.
So we stand here in silence,
Tall, proud, and bold,
Remembering lost souls,
That never grew old.
We feel a debt,
As our heads hang in sorrow,
Because for our today,
They gave their tomorrow."
