“This is an opportunity to call on the military, government officials and well meaning citizens of the State to ensure that we join hands to support our fallen heroes, their families, legionnaires and those still serving.
“The way we appreciate the retired ones encourages those in service to continue to give their best.

It is an opportunity for the government and citizens to appreciate the Military”, the SSG added.
He charged members of the committee to mobilize and work assiduously to organize a memorable event for the State and her people.
