For two decades, this ceremony has saluted the courage of fallen and wounded veterans, reflecting a profound respect for their sacrifices. Chronicled by a publication with well over a century of experience, it stands as a powerful reminder of enduring gratitude.

As we mark eight decades since D-Day, the number of surviving veterans dwindles. Now more than ever, we must cherish their presence and absorb the memories and wisdom of those who bravely defended freedom so many years ago.
