DEFENCE FORCES OVERSEAS
FAMILY SUPPORT DAY
T
he second Defence Forces family day for families of personnel
currently serving overseas took place recently in Dublin Zoo
with around 400 family members attending. The purpose of
this day was to recognise the support our families give to each and
every member of the Defence Forces to help us do our job. The day
was really well attended, with the sun even making an appearance!
Lots of children of DF personnel were there who had mammies,
daddies, aunts and uncles deployed with UNIFIL, EUBG and KFOR
and were delighted to get their face painted. We even debuted our
new Defence Forces colouring book which is available for anyone
who'd like to get the crayons out – just email info@military.ie ! The
next family day will take place over the Summer, keep an eye on our
social media for info.
