Armed Forces Day will be marked in Burntwood with a socially-distanced ceremony.

The event will take place at 11am on Saturday (27th June) at Burntwood Library.

Cllr Di Evans, chairman of Burntwood Town Council, said:

> “These are still challenging times, but it is our duty and privilege to mark the contribution made over the years by our servicemen and women.  
>  
> “Quite simply, we wouldn’t enjoy the freedoms we do today without their bravery and commitment.  
>  
> “Even with COVID-19 restrictions ongoing, we want to show our appreciation to each and every one of them.”  
>  
> Cllr Di Evans

This year, because of many events having been cancelled, people across the country are being [asked to join the #SaluteOurForces initiative](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/lichfield-and-burntwood-residents-asked-to-salute-for-armed-forces-day/).

Cllr Sue Woodward, leader of Burntwood Town Council, added:

> “Our Armed Forces Day flag will be flying high this week and we thank the Library staff and volunteers for raising it on behalf of the town.  
>  
> “Let’s all salute our forces and join in this tribute to all who have served and continue to serve to keep us safe.”
