President David Granger yesterday reaffirmed his support for the care of military veterans and their families and presented the Guyana Veterans Legion (GVL) with a cheque valued $1M, at the annual Remembrance Day Ceremony and Reception, hosted at the GVL’s headquarters, Coghlan House, Carifesta Avenue.
A release from the Ministry of the Presidency said that following the President’s donation, several other individuals and organizations made monetary pledges to the Legion.
Granger, who is performing the functions of a caretaker President pending General and Regional Elections said this year commemorates the 50th anniversary of two of the greatest threats to Guyana’s Independence – in the Rupununi and New River.
