A Special message and thanks.............
 

to all the guys and girls serving in Iraq and Afghanistan and other places abroad on duty in HM Forces.

I am considered by some to be the 'elder statesman' of PPRuNe and as a mod I believe I can, in both capacities, represent all the mods and members of PPRuNe in wishing you a very happy Christmas and a good and safe New Year.

Everyone here has no problem in realising what a brilliant job you are doing and the sacrifices you are making on our behalf. We also realise that you would prefer to be with your loved ones. On both counts we give you thanks for doing what you have to do and also pray that you are kept out of harms way.

God bless every one of you.

Be safe one and all

Hear hear,

For those that sleep under your blanket of protection, many thanks

Our thoughts are with you this Christmas. Stay safe and may you all be safely reunited with your loved ones soon.

To each and everyone of you manning the ever thinner Thin Red Line, thank-you for standing in harms way on our behalf. We who enjoy Christmas with our families are especially aware and mindful of you if duty prevents you being with your loved ones. Take care and try to stay safe, these may be trying times, but you will look back on them with rightful pride for the rest of your lives. We salute you all.

Happy Christmas to all
 

To all on ops and those preparing to jet off soon. Stay safe and have a happy time. You're in our prayers

Especially at this time of year I would like to express my thanks, admiration and profound respect for all the British armed forces and hope and pray you all come home safe and sound. God bless each and every one of you and thanks to PPRuNe Pop for starting it off.

Yes, a Big Thank You. God be with you all.

Take care guys and gals, my thoughts are with you all. "You gotta make the best of the situ your in" words from my old dad, RAF Lancs crew WWII

On the bright side, I've got a bloody turkey to cook in 11 hours time. Anyone wanting a pen pal PM me

Hear Hear
As Orwell said "We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm" ....or something like that!
Will be thinking of you and your families tomorrow.

Thanks for what you do.

Notwithstanding the antics of Bliar, Brown and Browne, I can only concur with the message from HM the Queen and wish all involved in Iraq, Afghanistan and other operations my most heartfelt thanks and admiration. Keep safe.

Just finished wrapping presents for my children; logged on before hitting the sack - poignant to pause a moment to consider those so far away in perpetual danger. We are thinking of you - Merry Christmas.

Well said PPRuNe Pop, and the others, from another elderly, if not very statesmanlike, PPRuNer.

Very best to all, and thank you.

Happy Christmas everyone, and stay safe. Peace be with you.

Best wishes to all, whoever, where ever.
Raising a glass to you all at Radalt Towers. :D

For those on the front line ..
 

Be safe, get home and enjoy a well earned belated Christmas. Being away at this time of the year is pants but you are all doing a marvellous job, for which all on here are grateful.
Salut.

Having done a few Christmas deployments in my time I know how hard it is to be away from family at this time of the year.

I'd like to add my best wishes to those so eloquently posted.

Stay safe and hurry home

Merry Christmas.

Be safe Guys and Gals on Ops, we want you back as much as you want to be back.

I would like to thank you all for your best wishes, I am sitting in mortar central (Basrah City North) at the moment and it has been relatively quiet so far. Long may it stay so. Can I wish each and every one of you wellwishers a very merry and peaceful Christmas.

Regards

Keep safe out there guys and gals, thoughts with you all today..
