The annual Remembrance Day ceremony is organized by the Belgian Air Force Association (BAFA) at the Belgian Air Force War Memorial, located in the Jubelpark (next to the Royal Military Museum). This monument is dedicated to the memory of all those who gave their lives in air service. Let us not forget that they sacrificed themselves to safeguard our freedom, our independence, and our Western values. 

This ceremony is held on the anniversary of the founding of the Belgian Air Force on October 15, 1946.
