Attention!
Our troops give so much of themselves, and we all benefit from their efforts.

The next time you look at your bank balance, why not find some way to take some money and put it towards supporting the members of our armed services in some way? Maybe find a family who has someone serving, and buy them dinner, or some groceries, or a gift for their children? Maybe find a way to contribute to a fund for the memory of any of those who have fallen? Our armed forces deserve our support in tangible ways.

I'm not a big fan of democracies. Those seeking power can promise the moon and get elected over the objections of those urging retraint or - in our case - even the constraints of the Constitution.

Let's keep the Republic and all its worts.
