Reserves Day spotlights the invaluable role part-time Reservists play in securing our nation, seamlessly balancing civilian lives with on-call military service. We celebrate these remarkable individuals’ devotion.
Today, June 21, 2023, we come together to celebrate Reserves Day and recognise the unwavering dedication, professionalism, and commitment of our Reservists in safeguarding our nation’s security, both at home and overseas.
Reservists constitute one-sixth of the UK forces, delivering specialised talents in medical, legal, cyber, and more that profoundly strengthen national defence abilities. However, their extraordinary efforts rarely see the spotlight. Hence, Reserves Day is an annual occasion to highlight and honour these overlooked, exceptional contributions.
This Reserves Day, notice comrades around you donning uniforms amidst regular routines. These brave souls likely serve secretly as colleagues, friends, or family. Let’s extend gratitude to those quiet heroes.
We have the privilege of having two extraordinary reservists who display true dedication. Marketing Manager Sarah Fishwick serves in the Royal Navy Reserves. Senior Solicitor Stephanie Grieve acts as Army Second Lieutenant. This Reserves Day, Stephanie honoured her service by appearing in court and successfully defending a client in full military uniform. Her journey blends the military and legal worlds seamlessly.
Stephanie began serving in 2007 while simultaneously pursuing university studies. She currently serves 15+ years with the Royal Military Police. Her dedication brought her the remarkable achievement of King’s Commission at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst recently.
Throughout her service, Stephanie has trained extensively across the globe, gaining invaluable experience and knowledge in various areas. This has included Military Law. While serving, she also earned a law degree and a postgraduate degree and progressed her legal career to a Senior Solicitor role at Scullion LAW. She also met her husband via the Armed Forces Community. They now have two beautiful daughters.
On this Reserves Day, Scullion LAW extends a heartfelt message to Reservists across the United Kingdom. We salute your unwavering dedication, resilience, and commitment to serving our country. Your selflessness and willingness to sacrifice your time for the greater good inspire us all.
To the Reservists who balance civilian life and military service, we express our deepest gratitude. Your tireless efforts play a vital role in protecting our nation’s security. We recognise the challenges you face, the sacrifices you make, and the unwavering passion you bring to both your civilian and military endeavours.
Sarah and Stephanie, your dedication inspires us and reminds us of the profound impact one person can make.
Reserves Day reminds us that Reservists are ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary feats daily. They embody the courageous values that make our Forces strong. As we celebrate, let’s unite in recognising all who exemplify true service and sacrifice. Your vital contributions don’t go unnoticed.
