And all the best from myself and Mrs Odi as well.

Mrs Odi had the pleasure (not to much pleasure I hope!!!) of serving alongside some of you during the conflict itself.

You ARE in our thoughts.

No hint of hi-jacking the thread, I hope! While praying for the safety and good health of all people serving abroad please also remember the bereaved parents and children who are spending their Festive Season with a loved one, gone forever.

Always do mate, have one living next door.

Always Remember!

Got home a week ago with tremendous relief to have made in home just in time for Christmas (again!), but plenty of thoughts for those who have to stay.

Best wishes to all still doing the job, keep your heads down.

Thanks and thoughts with you all.

Vasbyt and hold the pose, manne!!:ok:

A2QFI Thank you. A very timely reminder about those that remain waiting and hoping. Some only have the ones for whom they wait and they also deserve our special thoughts and prayers.

Just wanted to let all of our forces, wherever you are serving, that Mrs Monkey and I had quite a few drinks last night, and toasted you all.

We especially toasted and spoke fondly about our friends that are no longer with us. Sadness was eventually replaced with happiness and joy as we remembered the very many good and great times that we had all spent together. We finally retired to bed grateful and humbled that our lives had been blessed by knowing these true heros.

God Bless you all, we are thinking about you.

Best wishes on behalf of the CCF - we know how much you love us...

Keep safe.

Respect & thanks.

May your no-mans land become a football pitch today.

Late greetins
 

I would like to wish everyone serving at the sharp end and the blunt, belated Season's Greetings.

We got a little busy the last couple of weeks getting the mail to you and, I hope most of it got through for you to share your families thoughts. Some of it is late, due to fog in Europe making diversions the order of the day and, on Christmas Day, there was still a lot on the move, so just hold on it is on the way.

You folks are not forgotten. Stay well and be able to walk home.

You make us proud. Come home safe. God Bless.

Our thoughts are with all of you out there, doing your bit for us back 'ere:D :D :D

Nothing more to add really, - keep your heads down and safe.

Respect to you all.

(and contempt to all politicians who put you there)
