Time to start planning!

After the success of Veterans Day in 2007 which saw 250 events being held, planning has now started in towns and cities across the UK to celebrate the third National Veterans Day on the 27 June 2008. Events aren’t limited to 27 June; many are likely to take place on weekends throughout June and July. Veterans Day is an opportunity for the whole community to celebrate all aspects of veterans and the veterans community.
