Just for those of you who think this is a waste of time and i know there aren't many, let me assure you it is not. Most Tuesdays some very brave soldiers land at Lynham and I have the honour to escort them, on a bike, to the Hospital. It is one of the most emotional and tear jerking thing i do. It is also one of the most privileged things i do. Many observers have joined the procession over the years and always remark on the dignity and emotion of the occasion. Thousands of people turn out in solidarity and support of the fallen and their families all along the route. Lorry drivers stop and get out of their cabs, people come out of the pubs along the route and bow their heads and every British Legion, parade their flags and lay them in the road as the soldiers go by.

Afganheros was set up by the mother of a fallen soldier who died last summer. Her aim is not only to support the soldiers who return physically and emotionally scared but also the extended families who don't always get the support offered to direct family members.

I know that Denies, who lost her son Lee, thinks this is a wonderful thing to do, "Especially on Mothers Day".

Wasn't this in my Renault thread a minute ago!
