Happy New Year to all service personnel

Hi,
I would like to take the time to say Happy new Year to you & yours.
Especially if you have a friend or relative serving in the armed forces this year.
Happily, many of the armed forces are now being pulled out of military war zones and thankfully, the loss of those precious lives will cease.
For those that have already lost dear ones in armed conflict though, I would like to say that their service and sacrifice should never be forgotten, and our prayers are now with those loved ones left to grieve.

So, Happy New Year seems rather an inadequate thing to wish you, but I do, because all life has to have hope and forgiveness and without it, we would all become bitter and twisted human beings, no better than the sad people that prefer to take a life than to save one.
I sincerely hope that 2012 will be better for us all.
