“We will never forget their selflessness, courage, and commitment to defending our nation. They demonstrated remarkable courage and strength in the face of adversity, showing unwavering determination and fortitude in the most difficult of situations,” he stated. “As we remember and commemorate their sacrifice, it is important for us to not only honor their memory but also to ensure that their legacy lives on. We must continue to support and care for our veterans and their families,” he urged.Acknowledging the ongoing hardships faced by many veterans and their families, Mashatile expressed regret that some continue to live in poverty despite decades of democracy.
