Today, on Orange Victims Day, we pause to remember the 343 Orange Brethren and one Orange Sister who were murdered during the terrorist campaign in Northern Ireland.
Behind each of those 344 lives was a family, friends, a lodge and a community left to carry the pain of their loss.
Many were murdered while serving in the security forces. Others were targeted simply because of who they were and the community to which they belonged.
Today we remember them all, and we think especially of the families and loved ones for whom that loss remains very real.
Their sacrifice will not be forgotten.
