The theme for this year's NDP is "Our Singapore”, which commemorates our bicentennial and allows us to tell our story from past to present.
We are so thankful to be able to watch our story unfold and be a part of this year's NE show. It is the best time for us to feel patriotic and proud to be Singaporeans, and also a great way to let the kids learn our history and not take the present for granted.
While it was, as always, breathtaking to see our Red Lions, the aerial display, the state flag flypast and fireworks, the highlight for us has to be the Military Mobile Column - which makes its comeback after four years and marks its 50th anniversary this year. We saw a total of 171 military assets trundle across the Padang right in front of our eyes. The kids were amazed and awestruck, and I was especially touched when we paid a tribute to our Merdaka Generation and saw so many of our pioneers who were from the first few batches of servicemen. Salute! you deserve all our respect! It's also a reminder that while we are living the dreams of our pioneers, we are the pioneers of our future and together, we can build Singapore to be a better home for all.
See my stories to view more highlights from the parade. For those we are keen to get up close, the mobile column will make its way to five heartland areas - Jurong East, Woodlands, Bishan, Punggol and Geylang Serai - on Aug 10 to bring NDP to the masses.
To the hubby, just so you know we are so proud of you in being a part of our Navy and doing your utmost to protect our country and fellowmen.
We love you, Singapore!
