A fascinating afternoon yesterday in Stirling Castle at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission VJ 80 Commemoration. Another reminder of the suffering of Service people and civilians during War in the Far East. Lest we forget.

It was great to see the Veterans Minister @graemedeymsp launching the Veterans In Service Injury Network (VISIN) in Inverness today. This initiative delivers on a recommendation from the Scottish Veterans Commissioner, and will provide an additional layer of support through this dedicated pathway of care.

A pleasure to catch up with Sue Raw, Secretary of the War Widows Association following the extraordinarily poignant VJ Day 80 Anniversary Service at the Scottish National War Memorial.
During the service we heard incredibly moving accounts from veterans and children of veterans. These brought to life the brutal conflict, which saw some of the most intense fighting of WWII and unspeakable cruelty toward prisoners of war. It reminds us of the debt that society owes to those who secured our country's freedom, and those who continue to do so.
