National Service Day
National Service Day is held annually at the National Memorial Arboretum on the last Sunday in June, and is one of the key occasions in our calendar we look forward to each year. It is always a pleasure to work with Gerald Rose, Chairman and Founder of the National Service Foundation. It is through Gerald's tireless campaigning that each last Sunday in June is the official day of remembrance and reminiscence for all conscripts of National Service: National Service Day!
