USN honours L/Cpl Kieron Hill
Following on from a suggestion by his serving cousin the USN have added a plaque to one of their F18's to honour his sacrifice :D:D:D
BBC News - US warplane tribute to L/Cpl Kieron Hill |
Normally I'd put some comment about the Ooohrah nature of our cousins across the pond - not today.
BZ all round, a fitting tribute. |
Bloody marvellous. Every aircraft, tank, ship etc should follow suit.
|
Sh!t there's alot of dust in the faithless house at the mo...my eyes are watering.
Well done USN :D Take note UK...RN....RAF....AAC :suspect: |
Nice to see the pbi can slip those surly bonds - I hope Kieron's loved one's hearts soar too.
Well done USN. |
Typical of the Yanks to do something like that and full marks to them, a wonderful way to keep the young man's name alive. No doubt if we proposed something like that here it would be rejected on cost grounds or because it might offend someone........
|
Outstanding :D:ok:
That is one of the best things I have read in a long while and the fact that the USN is doing it for a British soldier is superb. |
An awesome tribute by the US Navy. The Hornet guy's have a lot of time for the British forces on the ground in Helmand as it's the area they support the most. Cheers VFA -34 .

Absolutely brilliant. Thanks Yanks. Well done
|
faithless,
FYI, RAF VC10s have (for a long time) had the names of Victoria Cross winners painted on their sides, some since 1966. The citations were also displayed in the Sqn building(s) for many years. Victoria Cross Holders |
I hope Kieron's loved one's hearts soar too.
|
Well done!
:D Duncs:ok: |
The trading of Salutes amongst Warriors is a centuries old tradition is it not?
Tis a fine thing my Navy did....Bravo Zulu Navy! |
An honor.My Navy.too.:ok:
|
What a nice way to remember the Fallen.
Sadly the way things are going in the near future there wont be enough equipment in the UK Armed services to to put the names of the fallen on :sad: |
Top drawer. Well done the USN. Sir, Yes Sir. :D:D
|
Superb, a very big 'Well Done' to the USN.:ok:
|
Wonderful story to perk up an otherwise mundane Thursday. Well done USN.
|
My respect for the USN has just gone up yet another notch or three :D
A really great idea and I'm sure it will be seriously appreciated this side of the pond :ok: CS |
As a grade A cynic, all I want to say is, how very kind and thank you.
