The Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) Armed Forces Day Parade 2020 was held on Friday July 31 at the JDF Polo Field, Up Park Camp, Kingston. Armed Forces Day, which is traditionally used to mark significant events in the history of the Force and notable events in the Nation’s history, was first held in 1981. Over three hundred soldiers including members of the Massed Bands and Corps of Drums of the Jamaica Defence Force were on parade at the event.
This year’s parade focused on acknowledging the JDF’s commitment to its mission, celebrating service to the Nation, and recognizing the individual hard work and dedication of the troops. The Governor-General, His Excellency the Most Honourable Sir Patrick Allen and the Prime Minister, The Most Honourable Andrew Holness, accompanied by Chief of Defence Staff, Lieutenant General Rocky Meade, handed out over 153 Medals of Honour for General Service to select members of the JDF on the Parade.

United States Marine here. Serving currently. I know I would have served in the JDF if I still was back home. Warms my heart to see my brothers and sisters in arms doing so good.

I remember those parade days. I enlisted in the West India Regiment in 1961 and then it changed to The JDF When Jamaica received its independence in 1962. I served 6 wonderful years. I’m proud to be an old soldier

As a U.S. Army Veteran I was an original member of the first Cadet Corp at Holy Trinity Secondary school and would definitely be a member of the JDF. Also as a former instructor I met numerous JDF soldiers who were students here in the U.S. and became lifelong friends. During my active duty time I made it a practice to visit with them at Up Park Camp on every visit home for vacation and will always be a supporter of my JDF. My wish is to be able to work with the JDF upon my retirement even in a volunteer position so as to assist in making improvements for our soldiers and police.

I don't know if the churches in Jamaica know how serious it is for, JCF and JDF people that really fighting to bring back Jamaica to it's natural state, I believe in prayer and fasting for the JCF and JDF, that want to see good in the place, police them leaving they house 🏡 and children to go out to protect the law abiding people, and that why the people that called themselves Christians need to wake up and see what sin is doing to them and pray for the JCF and JDF peace ✌️ in the land.

The JDF look very very smart on the occasion, those that are trained at Sandhurst and with the Royal Marines wow you can see the training. There are some sloppy moments such as not standing still, and movement after commands are given. So, we now need to see a squad or platoon from the Air wing taking part in these parades.
