This morning at 11 o'clock, we came together at Amazon UK for our annual Remembrance, organised by the brilliant Amazon Warriors. The Warriors are one of our most active employee-led groups, bringing together veterans, reservists, military spouses and their families.
It was a privilege to be asked to read the Exhortation from Laurence Binyon's For the Fallen before the two minutes' silence. "At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them."
We were honoured to be joined by Vivienne Buck CBE and members of BLESMA, a charity supporting limbless veterans, and by James Fletcher from the Royal British Veterans Enterprise (RBVE), which has supported veterans into work and housing for over a century. Afterwards, everyone was served coffee and cake by Combat2Coffee, a social enterprise founded by veteran Nigel Seaman to support the mental health of the armed forces community.
The Warriors have also been taking Peccy on a poppy walk around our offices this week to raise awareness, and to make sure everyone has the chance to wear a poppy.
There are many people across our teams at Amazon UK who have served, and many more with family who have. Taking time to stop and remember together is the least we can do.
Thank you to Richard Burns MBE, Eloise Cheales, Emma Morgan, Sophie Allinson and the Warriors for bringing us together.
