List: Personalities expected to receive medals on Heroes’ Day

Over 100 Ugandans are expected to receive Heroes’ Day medals in honour for their services to the country.

Heroes Day is celebrated every June 9. This year’s edition is the 30th.

According to Minister of Presidency Esther Mbayo, this year’s celebrations will take place at Kasanje, Wakiso District.

“This year’s Heroes’ Day celebrations will be held under the theme ‘Celebrating the courageous heroes that brought the peace and prosperity we enjoy,” Mbayo told watchdoguganda.com.
