FIDF Veterans Pin Application<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Falkland Islands Defence Force (FIDF) invites former members to register for the FIDF Veteran\u2019s Pin<\/strong>. This registration is only for ex-FIDF personnel and pins cannot be issued or collected on behalf of family members. A launch event is expected at the end of January to present the first set of pins, and if you cannot attend you can still have your pin mailed to you. After January, new recipients will primarily receive their pins by post. Please note that when you submit the form, your name and email address will not be automatically collected unless you provide them yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
