At the going down of the sun,  and in the morning,                 
We will remember them.

The Royal British Legion is calling on Government to honour its life-long duty of care to those making a unique commitment to their country and the campaign is  already having an effect. To find out how you can assist.....see this link      ''Honour the Covenant''

Please remember ....There has only been one year (1968) since the Second World War when a British Service person hasn't been killed on active service.   Just one statistic amongst an avalanche of reasons why we should not forget those who serve on OUR behalf.

Since 1945, the vast majority of the British People have known nothing but peace. But it's been a very different story for the men and women of our armed forces. Time and again, they have been in the front line defending Britain's interests. In Brunei, Borneo, Indonesia, Malaya, the Falklands and the Gulf. More recently, they have played a central peace keeping role in the Balkans, Cambodia, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. Closer to home, many thousands have been involved during the thirty year long campaign in Northern Ireland.

The Army is currently deployed in over 80 countries around the world. Deployments vary in strength from single military advisors to full operational deployments.


But please remember our forces should NOT be dependent on Charity.....By right they should be looked after by your government after they have served all of us or are still in harms way!  Be aware that for every soldier, sailor, airman or woman.....there is a family waiting in the wings, wondering if their loved ones will be allowed to come home safely.
