I was in Kandahar in december and january, and I know that thanks to the RAF Regiment, the Airfield is a "peaceful area", because the soldiers do a great job outside. I'm sad tonight, and my thoughts are with the family.

Yet more sacrifices.
RIP mis amigos. Per Ardua |
Thommo, never met you but as a fellow reservist your passing has touched me deeply. It is often said that some one was too young to die. Some one told me yesterday that I was too old to go. Well you went and you were two years older than me. You said you went to make sure that Afgan women would have the same opportunities in life as your daughters. For that I have utter respect.
I salute you, Sir. |
RIP....
