Beautifully put. You are both a credit to your countries and the service that you've given them.

Thank you for your service Robert! Many of our fathers and grandfathers have served. My Scottish merchant marine Chief Engineer sailed the world throughout WW I and luckily was never torpedoed! I used to sit on his lap looking at all the B/W photos he took around the world! My Scottish born father was an RCAF Spitfire pilot, like his older brother Jim 'Snooker' Preston. It seems that human memories and learning from the past are so short-term! We can hope for peace but freedom and peace must be defended, as sadly, this seems to be the human condition throughout history. Lest We Forget! We will remember them!
