Every year on March 6th, Ghana commemorates her Independence Day with parades that serve as a symbol of respect, unity, and patriotism.
These parades bring people from all walks of life together, to display their shared identity as citizens of a free nation.
Another essence of these parades is the tribute paid to veterans and fallen heroes who have contributed to Ghana’s freedom and democracy. Through these ceremonies, their sacrifices are honoured, and their legacy, remembered.
Led by the President of Ghana, who also serves as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, these parades point at the importance of the nation’s defenders. The President inspects the formations, emphasising the significance of Ghana’s armed forces in protecting its independence.
Ghana’s Independence Day parades serve as a display which signifies the nation’s commitment to honouring her heroes and celebrating her hard-won freedom.
