Exercise African Lion 2019 was held from March 25-April 3, 2019 in several locations across Morocco, and in Tunisia. African Lion 2019 is a multinational, joint-force exercise that improves the interoperability and mutual understanding of tactics, techniques and procedures of nations such as the United States, Morocco, and Tunisia, along with the other five participating nations this year: Canada, France, Spain, Senegal, and the United Kingdom.
Each year, all around the country, men and women come together to reflect on the service and sacrifice of members of the U.S. military. Whether it be through public ceremonies, or private meditation, honoring those who have served is the true meaning of Veterans Day.
