We coming to the time of year where we sing Old Lang Syne, please sing it with me now, dedicated and in the memory of all those that have died far away, from the shores of the lands they have loved and far away from those that loved them....

May we never forget their bravery nor commitment each and every one for their country. Let not forget the ladies and gentlemen serving in the forces not just in Iraq but Afghanistan as well. Lets hope they stay safe, lets hope hope that they get home soon and safe.

My thoughts and heart goes out to the love ones of those who died in both conflicts and to those that suffered injuries that have and will effect their lives.
