Jeremy Vine, Ambassador for the Soldiering On Awards
It is Saturday 25th June, Armed Forces Day and we, The War Widows’ Association of Great Britain, join the nation to show our support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community.
This year, its extra special because its the day the finalists of the 2022 Soldiering On Awards are officially announced! We would like to recognise the achievements of every and every individual that has been considered across each of the 12 categories and suggest that they are all ready winners even before the final judgements are made.
