I will remember the good friends I have lost in NI, in the Falklands, and in Gulf Wars 1 and 2.

That I came very close more than once to becoming a widow.

That much of the time, our soldiers are reviled, and treated badly by much of the population....... as are their families, very often. The only times I have ever been on the receiving end of discrimination and downright nastiness, it was because of my status as an Army wife.

And I will honour the fact that it has taken the public loathing of political decisions to send young men and women to a series of wars, the deaths and maimings that have ensued, for public opinion to swing to honouring and not reviling those same brave people.

Love

Daff xxxx
