A heartfelt thanks to Grey, and to all those, who when the word "Compassionate" is mentioned drop every thing and make it happen.

In a time when it is easy to knock the services (me included....where's that PVR form?) it fills me with pride to read these posts, and gives me faith in the system.

Kosovo 2000 (for the second time) one of our lads got the call, and as luck would have it, an Albert was already inbound. He was airborne within 2 hours on 7 days Comp Lve. It was akin to the parting of the Red Sea! Albert arrives at BZN where waiting HS 125 whisks him northward.

Three days later an e-mail arrives, from said chap, saying that he got to see his sister 2 hours before she passed. Filled us up a bit, did that.

If we don't look after each other, what do we have left?
