Came back to london from Oxford the other night to see three lads sat on the train in desert cams. I got up to get a tinnie from the buffet cart and bought an extra three. On getting back to my seat I asked them if they were 'coming or going'? (yes i knew the answer really, as they had clearly just come from Brize!), they said they had just got back from Iraq for a two week R+R, i said thanks for what you are doing for us, we are all really grateful and offered the 3 cans. Everyone around clapped, the boys looked as pleased as punch, and all for a thanks and a beer. I could never have done it if they were not in Uniform. Bring it on, lets have more of it. Our guys are proud to serve, we should be proud to allow them to wear the uniform that they are willing to wear when they die for their Queen and Country.
