Excellent thread Dave and lots of great replies. I was at the rugby last week and the bar was full after the match, we heard about 3 lads that were having a few beers in the club before going back to Afganistan in a few days, within minutes one of the older guys had a pint pot going around so that these fellas would not have to pay, £150 odd quid was put in within 5 minutes or so, we wanted them to feel the pride we have for them. They were very gracious and took the cash. Great lads and very brave in my opinion but so young.
got a mate in the services at the moment would like to think people would go out there way for him also!
people do forget what they are sacrificing for the rest of the country!
