National Day Celebrations is always about the people, even more so for Singapore whose strength and spirit of the people is really key to our progress. It is this strength in unity that National Day Parade (NDP) 2017 aims to rally Singaporeans from all walks of life to stand together and uphold Singapore\u2019s sovereignty, defence and security.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Key to our nation\u2019s defence and security are the men and women who dedicate their lives to protecting Singapore around the clock 24\/7. These men and women of our defence and security force not only protect us but they do it with 100% commitment and pride. Take for example, the flying of the National Flag during the National Day Parade \u2013 a highlight that never fails to give me goose bumps – to see my country\u2019s flag flying high while the national anthem is being sung.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Flag Must Fly\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although the flying of the flag lasts a mere few seconds, the men and women of The Republic of Singapore Air Force\u2019s (RSAF) Squadron 127 (SQN127) do not take this responsibility lightly. This squadron is responsible for preparing the national flag from fold to flight. Recently, during an exclusive media preview, I had the privilege to interview some of the men involved in prepping the flag for the fly past. Their teamwork and unwavering commitment moved me as I witnessed firsthand how they go about their duty to fly high the flag of Singapore!<\/p>\n
