convert   10 #9 Posted November 11, 2008 I'd just like to take this opportunity, as the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month approaches us, to post a link to this very worthy appeal.   http://www.supportoursoldiers.co.uk/  The appeal is still falling somewhat short of it's fundraising target of £50,000.  You may disagree with the war in Iraq, but it's only due to the bravery and sacrifice of past generations that you have the freedom to express that opinion.   I can think of no better way to honour our fallen soldiers, than to support those who are putting their own lives on the line at this very moment.  Here is a link to the justgiving appeal; and I ask you to at least look at this, and if you can find it in yourself to make a small donation to this (imho) worthy cause.  http://www.justgiving.com/supportoursoldiersxmasparcelappeal2008   The aim of Support Our Soldiers is to provide support for our serving men and women, and their families at home. This is done in every practical way possible including writing to deployed personnel, sending morale boosting welfare packages (throughout the year as well as at Christmas), helping those recovering from injuries, raising welfare issues and providing support and guidance to family members.  If you're new to the site, we're very pleased to welcome you on board! Those of you with a family member serving in the Armed Forces can be sure you're amongst friends as we already have lots of wives, girlfriends, mums, dads, grandparents, children and siblings checking in. All of them know just how hard it can be when your loved one's away from home and will share the ups and the downs whenever they're called upon to do so.  We have a very active Message Forum which is updated almost by the minute so do check this out and feel free to join in the discussions.  In 2008 we hope to do all we can to provide support and encouragement for all members of our Armed Forces and of course we encourage you to do the same!
