VETERAN'S DAY, 28 JUNE 2008
*****************************

Introduction
************
Paderborn Garrison will host a series of events on Sat 28 June 2008 to
mark UK Veterans Day. Addressees will be aware that since 2007, 27
June has been earmarked as the day to remember the service provided by
veterans. Additionally, 2008 is the centenary year of the founding of
the Territorial Army (TA100). As the Garrison has the only TA unit in
Germany within its area of responsibility, the centenary will be also
be marked during the events on 28 June 2008. The events will be open
to all UK veterans residing in Germany and members, including
dependants, of the military community in Paderborn Garrison, on Sat 28
June 2008. The events will take place in the area of Normandy
Barracks, Bielefelder Strasse, 33104 Paderborn-Sennelager.


Aim
*****
The aim of the event will be to provide an opportunity for UK veterans
now resident in Germany to meet and discuss veteran issues and to
participate in a (church) service and parade. The event will also
serve as a reminder to those currently in uniform and their
dependants, of the service provided by those that preceded them, as
well as marking TA100 with the Garrison's own TA unit.

Format
*********
Garrison units will parade alongside veterans at an open air service
officiated by the Brigade Senior Chaplain. A limited number of
veterans will then attend a lunch in the NATO Officers' Mess, followed
by a proposed forum to discuss veteran issues hosted by Headquarters,
United Kingdom Support Command (Germany). Concurrently, remaining
veterans and their families, together with the current military
community in Paderborn Garrison, will have an opportunity of visiting
a number of static exhibits provided by Garrison units and welfare
organisations. There will also be catering stands available for the
purpose of purchasing meals, snacks and drinks.
