Commenting on Remembrance Sunday, Major Naveed Muhammad, Chairman of the Armed Forces Muslim Association and a serving British Army Officer said:
“Remembrance Sunday is about paying tribute to all the brave men and women who have served in the British Armed Forces and also recognize those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our country. It is also marked to remember those who serve today and will do so in the future.
“Britain, more than any other nation in the world, has always been an amalgamation of many different faiths and cultures, and the Armed Forces have and will always strive to reflect this diversity. The Values and Standards which guide us on a daily basis, include Courage, Loyalty, Respect and Selfless Commitment bond seamlessly with those valued by diverse communities all over the UK ”
