I want to be there with you but can't. My admiration for you all knows no bounds.
Do what you have to do and come back safe.
From one whose whole life has been shaped by Hitler and the appeasers who allowed him to get as far as he did before it was decided to stop him.
God's Speed.

Great sentiments.
How about you add a good wish for the Aussie F-18, C-130 and P-3 crews there as well!
Good luck Guys, come back safe soon..

Had the joy of speaking to the lads on the way through here, quite novel having the gang on frequency so far from home.
I think we worked together in the Wild West.
I was a bograt then....and nothing has changed!

Scran,
Agree completely !
In my defence, the Aussies hadn't been allowed to play at the time of initial posting, but now that they have they'll be in all our thoughts as well.
Stay safe people !

To all those who are going, are already there, or are already doing your thing, you are the best, and this old fart wishes you a safe return.
I'm almost tempted to join you but the old best blue no longer fits!
Do it once, do it right, and look out for each other; the way it has always been.

Ghost-rider,
OK. Didn't check the date of your posting before. Howver, I note that it was 17 March. The boys have been there for over two weeks now.
Thanks for your concern, the F-18 leader is a friend of mine.

Scran, now I'm getting very defensive ... I thought they've only just been given the auth to take part in any offensive actions in the last 24hrs
I think TheNightOwl sums it up very eloquently ...

I posted this originally on Exxon-Valdez' thread, silly me thinking the archaic French was actually Latin....
Si vis pacem, para bellum. If you want peace, prepare for war.
Poignant thoughts, EV, on this eve of battle.
And fine sentiments, with which I wholeheartedly agree. The rights and wrongs have been argued, and right or wrong, the talking is done. Now the doing is to begin; and to the men and women of HM Forces, and of US Forces, and those of Australia and the other members of the Coalition of the Willing, though it has been said before, I echo EV's thoughts;
God speed and good luck.
Do it well, guys and gals, and come home safe.
There isn't a smilie for "Respect", or I'd have put up a row of them.

Remain resolute, stay true, return safely.
My thoughts are also with all the families and loved ones of those prepared to so selflessly put everything on the line. May they return to you swiftly.

To all out there - Good Luck and hope to see you all safely home in Happy Hour soon.
Wish I was with you out there with you (particularly the RAF tanker types) rather than here.

Good luck, stay safe (if you can when you're supposed to put yourself in harms way) don't believe any rubbish about not being supported from the UK populace.

Good luck and godspeed, particularly to Chris R. in the 101st.
For all of us folks staying behind, put together a care package and send it off to your friends and loved ones who are deployed. I'm reliably informed that there are few things that improve morale more than mail from home.
