I am so proud of our forces and what they do in the most difficult circumstances. When I heard the news of Michaels death at the weekend I was away with my grandaughter and family and realised even more that my namesake and many other such young men will never experience what I have. But it is not a waste as with the right leadership they keep our doorstep safe. My feelings go out to him and his family and friendsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691041103281974891.post-20387673774966503512010-04-03T12:53:09.704+04:302010-04-03T12:53:09.704+04:30R.I.P Hero: Words will never be enough to ease the...R.I.P Hero: Words will never be enough to ease the pain your family, friends and colleagues will endure but my prayers and thoughts are with you All.
