Grief and pride converged in a deeply moving moment last Thursday, as families stood in solemn silence, their hearts heavy with loss yet filled with gratitude, for the unveiling of a monument honouring the country’s fallen soldiers.
Located at Up Park Camp in St Andrew, the fallen soldier monument, officially named ‘The Parade’, stands in tribute to 26 members of the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) who lost their lives in the line of duty.
