Commander of 49 (East) Brigade, Brigadier Harry Nickerson, said:"The national event in Nottingham will be one of the most varied and exciting Armed Forces Day events yet. We will have a wide range of military assets taking part to demonstrate the breadth of the work of the Armed Forces and the day is sure to be a fun-filled occasion for all to come out and ‘show your support’ for our brave Service personnel, both past and present."
They have an array of things planned to show off and celebrate the armed forces, the day will start with gun blasts from the cannons at Nottingham castle, there is to be a dynamic display by Royal Marines commandos involving boats, helicopters and a plethora of explosions is just one part of the programme which will conclude with a thrilling RAF air display.
Although the acts of our armed forces are forever a controversial issue raised in society, and the war against terror is on going. I feel it is vital, even if we disagree with what they're sent to do, they are still doing their duty for our country, and we must support the soldiers, even if we don't support their presence in Afghanistan. I have many friends from school who are now in various parts of the Armed Force, some taking more risks than others, but all still so vital to our country. Knowing that i do have friends out there who are facing dangerous environments, staring down the barrel of a sniper knowing that they are now a key target, but they're also taking the lives of others, preparing for chemical war, or loading up a royal artillery light gun. it can never be an easy job, and i feel like we should support them no matter what, because they re the ones who go out there and face it. As this is also a local event to my home in the Midlands I really hope to be able to go, if only to show my friends who are out in serving if Afghanistan, that back home, we've got their back and remember what they're doing for our queen and country.
