Tidworth Town Council VJ Day 80 Celebration

Our band, has many members and family who serve or have proudly served in the British Armed Forces. We all have a deep connection to this history and our lives are built on the shoulders of those who served and fought bravely to protect the freedoms which the Western World still, for the moment, continues to enjoy.

This evening we shall remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice, those who were injured and traumatised, those who paid their own price to bring the world to peace. The music we play, and the traditions we uphold, are a living tribute to the courage and sacrifice of all who have served.

While we are only a band of musicians, we are immensely proud of our heritage and of the unconditional sacrifice of others, which has enabled us to perform at this evenings service, at Tidworth Town Council & Tidworth Civic Centre.

We understand the weight of duty and the value of peace. Our role is to honour that legacy.  The sound of the pipes, a sound that echoes from the battlefields of the past across the parade grounds of today, carries with it the spirit of resilience, remembrance and hope.

 
We play to ensure that the sacrifices made, culminating in VJ Day, are never, never forgotten.

So, as we play, let us remember the men and women who endured the hardships of war, the families who waited, and the world that was delivered peace. Let the notes of our pipes be a call to remember, to respect, and to cherish the peace we all enjoy today.

The Wiltshire Caledonian Pipes & Drums are proud of this heritage, and we will continue to carry it forward with honour. We invite you all to join us, this evening, in this simple act of remembrance for those who gave their all so that we, our children and our children's children can live our lives as free people.
