Kingston, Jamaica – His Excellency The Most Honourable Sir Patrick Allen, Governor-General of Jamaica, was introduced to members of the Jamaica Ex-Soldier Association (JESA) on Tuesday, July 23, 2024. The meeting took place at King’s House, where Sir Patrick Allen was briefed on the association’s ongoing efforts and their upcoming plans for MUSTER 2024, a major event aimed at supporting and celebrating Jamaica’s ex-servicemen and women.

The Jamaica Ex-Soldier Association is a distinguished service charity organization committed to the welfare of former members of the Jamaica Defence Force.

MUSTER 2024, the focus of the discussion, is set to be a significant event for the association. The annual gathering brings together ex-soldiers from across the island for a day of camaraderie, reflection, and support. The event will include various activities, such as a memorial service for fallen soldiers, a health fair offering medical check-ups and services, and a series of workshops aimed at equipping veterans with skills and resources to enhance their post-service lives.
