Harry and Meghan honor service personnel on Remembrance Day and Veterans Day

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry went to their new post on their Archewell Foundation website to honor service personnel on Remembrance Day and Veterans Day. They shared a photo by Chris Allerton, their wedding photographer. It was a black and white photograph showing the couple facing military personnel. One of them was holding an American flag. They wrote - "On this Veterans Day and Remembrance Day, we honor service members across the world. These brave men and women, as well as their families, have made tremendous sacrifices and embody duty and service." They mentioned about the Invictus Games Foundation among other such groups. The couple went on to say -"We are proud to work with so many organizations that support veterans and military families, including: The Invictus Games Foundation, The Mission Continues, Team Rubicon, Scotty's Little Soldiers and The Greatest GENERATIONS Foundation. Today and every day, thank you for your service." Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Share Poignant Photo to Mark Remembrance Day and Veterans Day.



Last year, the two of them paid a surprise visit to a military base New Jersey to mark Veterans Day. At a luncheon for service members and their spouses at the base, Meghan and Harry discussed topics like mental health and the importance of community. The stop in New Jersey came the day after they attended the 2021 Salute to Freedom gala at the Intrepid Museum in New York City. In the remarks column, Harry discussed the feeling of isolation that service members endure when they return home and stressed the importance of supporting veterans. He served a decade in the British army and undertook two tours in Afghanistan. On Invictus Games he said – he created them "to honor the legacy of those who have given so much." He also said – “the men and women who have experienced service injuries, as well as their families, are the strongest people in the world...and they deserve a platform to be seen, a platform to be recognized, and a platform to be truly celebrated."
