Since then, the Falkland Islands have flourished, both economically and socially, and are still a dependent territory of Britain, and will remain so for as long as the Islanders wish.
The events are commemorating the achievements of all those involved in the conflict 25 years ago. There have been ceremonies and a veterans march amongst other events still to come.
The South Atlantic Medal Association 1982 (SAMA 82) hosted the Veteran’s re-union that followed the ceremonies on Horse Guards Parade. Support from sponsors and through merchandising contributed to the re-union and allowed other funds to be raised for SAMA 82. The organisation is currently fundraising for the 25th Anniversary Pilgrimage that will enable South Atlantic Veterans to re-visit the Falkland Islands. The 2007 pilgrimage will take place in November and will include around 200 Veterans of the conflict.
All sales via this site include a contribution to SAMA 82.
