Remembrance events are a time for use to remember those who gave their lives to help us by reflecting, giving thanks and respect to their memories. however we never forget those who have suffered fighting for their country, which is easy to see in the outpouring of remembrance every November 11th and with the passing of the last soldiers who fought in WW1 earlier this year.
However, not only do we remember those who fought in the two world wars, we also continue to think of the men and women fighting in modern wars in places like Iraq and Afghanistan and when the 100th soldier to die in Afghanistan did this year, there was an outpouring of emotion. Public displays of remembrance have been held around the country to thank and think about those who still serve, get injured or die in war. Keynote speakers can create even more of an atmosphere by telling us about their first hand experience in the war and their touching accounts of their fellow soldiers.
Keynote speakers are often thought of as forgotten celebrities who will attend any event for some money. However, there are members of the armed forces and everyday citizens that have personally experienced battle, warfare and injury who speak at events such as these. When you are listening to a soldier who has seen people die and lived in a war zone it really does make you realise just what soldiers go through and your respect increases.
But at these events, the keynote speakers want o give their audience a sense of hope and pride and optimism in the work that the soldiers do and have done, because without them, the UK would not have achieved its standing as a leader in the global community. They demonstrate how our military efforts have made us one of the fairest democracies in the world and we keep on fighting to preserve our democracy from those countries that would see us fall.
