“I am honoured and humbled to represent my constituents at Remembrance Day events across my constituency”, said Natalie Don MSP.

Remembrance Day is an important event for communities across Renfrewshire North and West, paying tribute to the sacrifices of those individuals from across the UK, the Commonwealth and Allied Nations which ensured the peace and freedoms that people enjoy today. It is also a time for reflecting on the peace-keeping and peace-making efforts of the Armed Forces today, trying to prevent war and the consequences of war.

This year is also an important one for the town of Renfrew, where we marked the 100th anniversary of the original unveiling of our War Memorial with a re-dedication service earlier this year. I was proud to attend that ceremony and to lodge a motion in the Scottish Parliament in support of this event.

Natalie Don MSP added:

“Remembrance Day is important for all our communities, providing a focus on those we have lost though various wars and conflicts and showing respect for the sacrifices that they made.

“Scotland’s veteran’s community has given a great deal to society and it is right that we do all we can to provide the best possible care and support when they return to civilian life

“Throughout wars and crises, like in the recent pandemic, we’ve relied on the selflessness of our armed forces to protect our freedoms and keep us safe from harm, with many making great sacrifices to do so. Each and every one of us owes a massive debt to them all.”
