Today’s thought for the day is brought to us by Rev Josefa Mairara (Army chaplain)
Remembrance, for me, is a time to pause and reflect on the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform, and their commitment to risking their lives for our nation’s freedom. We are part of a nation with a legacy full of stories from different wars, both great and small, in which many of our soldiers fought hard and died.
The drops of their blood, the unhealed wounds of their bodies and minds, and their loss of life, are living testimony that must not be ignored or forgotten. Their selfless commitment and dedication to serve has paved the way for us to enjoy and feel pride in our nationhood and purpose.
This Remembrance is also a perfect time to express our deepest appreciation to God, the giver of life, and to our fellow men and women across the Armed Forces, for their continuing service – making the world a better place for all people. Let us remember them, lest we forget.
