Arm Bands

I have one, and wear it all the time. I have needed to be filmed for various reasons/awards recently, and have made sure it was highly visible each time.
I wear it on the same basis as my "Op Nimby" tee shirt, that of, it might not provide much money to charity, but at least it raises the profile. Maybe if enough of these items are seen in public, some vote hungry politician will add his weight to the campaign*.

*I am not expecting any of the current government to actually care for our troops in any way, this would be a fantasy in a time when a private company (Northern Rock etc.) clearly deserves their support in monetary terms.
BUT these greedy leeches will do almost anything to stay elected, so if their vulture like eyes spot enough wrist bands in public, then they may just decide that it's suddenly an extra worthy cause.
