The 40th anniversary of the Falklands war is an important milestone for our community, our veterans and the families of those who lost their lives in the heroic campaign to restore freedom to our Islands following the illegal and unjustifiable invasion by Argentine forces on April 2nd.
This will be a year filled with reflection, when we give heartfelt thanks for the sacrifices made for us – through a series of events both in the Falklands and internationally, we will pay our respects to the fallen, their families and share our love with our veterans and those who still bear the scars of war.
The debt we as Falkland Islanders feel that we owe can never truly be repaid, but we have sought to give tribute in the only way possible – by building a country that is strong and prosperous, committed to democracy, progress and inclusivity.
Whilst we “Look Forward at 40” with hope for a bright and prosperous future and will celebrate our victories and the progress made to date, so too will Falkland Islanders always remember that we stand on the shoulders of those giants who so bravely risked all for us and, in doing so, gave us the greatest gifts of all – peace, freedom and the right to determine our own future.
