AJEX and AFJC launch ‘Raise a Glass’ campaign to mark National Armed Forces Week.
Join AJEX JMA and the Armed Forces Jewish Community in ‘raising a glass’ to honour British Jewish servicemen and women - past and present - and their service to the United Kingdom.
National Armed Forces Week takes place between 21st - 27th June and is the perfect time to pay tribute and say thank you to HM Armed Forces personnel, our veterans, Cadets and families - who make up the Armed Forces community.
The organisations are asking people to take a photo with a drink of their choice during the week – which can be anything from an alcoholic beverage to a cup of tea or soft drink and share this on social media showing their support and tagging #raiseaglass #SaluteOurForces @AJEX_JMA @HMAFJC.
Fiona Palmer, AJEX JMA’s Chief Executive commented: “We hope the community can join us in marking this important week in the lead up to our online Special AJEX Annual Service of Commemoration, from the National Memorial Arboretum. It is of vital importance to honour those who have fought for our freedom and those who serve today.”
Lt Col Danny Sharpe RAMC, Chairman of the Armed Forces Jewish Community, commented: “National Armed Forces Week is a great way to celebrate and say thank you. As British Jewish community, we are incredibly proud of Jews who serve today, those who have served and immensely grateful to those who support us and our families. This Armed Forces Week, please join us with a l’chaim and #raiseaglass #SaluteOurForces”
