Firstly nobody can take away what the men and women of all the Armed forces are achieving in a sometimes thankless task whatever they may be doing. I priveledged to be associated with them and we are always told its a ONE ARMY concept ie Regular and Territorial. Yet once again no mention or recognition to the Territorial Soldiers. Also Earlyier this year the granting of someone being aloud to lay a wreath at the Cenataph. Do people realise that we are no longer Weekend Soldiers as many have gone on to active Tours and get just as easily shot as anyone else and earn Medals just as hard as any one else. So why not the recognition of everyone else gets. Yes it may seem i am bitter and yes i am and would love to see recognition to our TA soldiers After just watching “The Millies” it makes me once again proud to be English but with a tinge of saddness.

The armed forces have really started to get the help and support they need this year and its great to see so many people involved. x Just wana say its a great relief to see our lads and gals who are out there risking their necks are getting some praise, for all the courage and effort they put into their jobs… they deserve this.
