National Memorial Arboretum
« on: June 05, 2010, 23:07:33 »
I've just watched some of the service of dedication at the National Memorial Arboretum

They've just  added the was 119 names of the service personnel killed on duty during 2009

I'm truly humbled and very proud to be British

Whatever your views on the Bureaucrats that take us to War, these amazing people who represent you and me just do their job without question and they should be supported without question.

the national memorial arboretum is well worth a visit it's near Lichfield. Bike parking is free as is entrance. It is indeed a humbling experience and a place where IMO everybody should visit to say thank you to the bravery of our armed forces. :clap:
