Wednesfield North Labour Party and its Councillor’s will again be attending the Wednesfield Remembrance Service at St Thomas’s Church as we have done for decades. We will as a Party march with Pride to the Church.
We will be honouring the memories of brave men and women, and thinking about how their sacrifices have helped pave the way that we live in freedom today.
On behalf of Wednesfield North Labour Party we will lay a wreath of Poppies, bow our heads and pray for those that fell during two World Wars from our Village, and the regional wars that have taken place since. I will give a little silent prayer for the current Military who are active today on our behalf across the whole World.
I for one will also think of my own family members both here in the UK and in Canada who also fought for freedom and democracy, and for my cousin Jim who is still active in the Canadian Armed Forces.
