RAF Regiment and Auxillray Losses

My heart skipped today to hear of our losses in Iraq. We have lost part of our family. My tears are real and my heart heavy. My condolances go to all of their families and comrades.
Go Forth the Big Red One.

God Bless you all, for you do a sterling job and we will never forget your sacrifices.

A sad day for the RAF and RAuxAF. The RAF Regiment have distinguished themselves in the Gulf, and these fellows lost their lives doing a great service.

RIP
