Captain Duah rtd presents a gift to a relative of a veteran<\/strong><\/p>\n

A delegation
\nheaded by the Executive Director of the Veterans Administration of Ghana (VAG),
\nCaptain Ben Edmund Duah (rtd), has paid a surprise visit on December 25, 2019,
\nto ex-servicemen who were on admission at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra.<\/p>\n

The executive
\ndirector who was in a red and white \u2018father Christmas\u2019 outfit interacted with
\ninpatients at various wards of the hospital as he presented gift hampers to
\nsome 18 VAG members, among whom was a former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) of
\nthe Ghana Armed Forces (GAF).<\/p>\n

The gesture was to
\nshow appreciation and also kindle the spirit of love for the ex-servicemen who
\nwere less fortunate to spend the festive period at the hospital.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an
\ninterview, Captain Duah (rtd.) emphasised the need for more initiatives geared
\ntowards showing appreciation and catering for the welfare of veterans in the country.<\/p>\n

He said that the
\ntask of showing appreciation and catering for veterans who had committed their
\nlives to the cause of defending the country was all encompassing and binding on
\nstakeholders who immensely benefited from the contribution of soldiers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe
\nGhana is a nation which is worth dying for, so we should honour our heroes and
\nappreciate them at the appropriate time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He urged the media
\nto commit more resources in educating the public on the significance of showing
\nappreciation to veterans especially during special occasions like the poppy\u2019s
\nappeal season.<\/p>\n
