An Afghanistan Christmas?

Happy Christmas and New Year to all serving in Afghanistan this year.
It must seem like the world has forgotten you sometimes, especially when you are
face to face with danger and injury.
People at home with their comfortable lives can't possible know the feelings that you go through, how can they?
That doesn't mean that each and every one of you serving in the military out there is forgotten. Far from it, we all owe you a huge debt of gratitude for the things that you do in order to try and keep sanity and peace in our world.
So, I, in my small way, send you hugs, thanks, and the hope that you will all be home very soon, safe and happy with your families and friends.
Happy Christmas.

Welcome Home Soldier ...

This Christmas holiday, many families will be welcoming home their loved ones who will be returning from conflicts around the globe.

Many of them will be from Afghanistan of course, but others will be coming home from lesser known operations, many of which will never be made public.

I would like to remember these serving personnel, wish them a safe finale to whatever operation they are on and to say they are not forgotten this holiday.

May you and four families have a happy, healthy and above all, peaceful Christmas together this year.

Until February, military wives will understand this ...

Zoey Peace is a military wife (girlfriend). Her husband is serving in Afghanistan and she has to wait until February, or possible longer now, until they are reunited.
She set up this blog for him, her family and their friends so that they could keep up with the events of normal life whilst apart.
The diary is now becoming a global phenomenon, and I want to take this opportunity of spreading the word so that military wives everywhere can share in her humorous diary.
She appeared on BBC breakfast this morning and came over as warm, funny and totally sincere.
Enjoy the blog and a Happy Christmas to serving military and their families everywhere.
