Remembrance Day: Honoring Service and Acknowledging Sacrifice
Today, we honour the bravery of those who served and continue to serve. At The Flannel Project, Remembrance Day holds special meaning as we remember not only the fallen but also those living with unseen scars.
For many veterans and their families, the journey doesn’t end in silence; the hidden impacts of service remain. Our SOS Flannel Card provides immediate support and community to help survivors find strength through shared experience.
This Remembrance Day, let us honor all who have served and extend compassion to the families who support them. Lest we forget.
