As regular readers of this blog will no doubt be aware (especially due to some recent posts), this blog is supportive of the people who have served in the Armed Forces, due to our strong family connections with the services. We believe that they are all heroes and deserve all the support they can get. As we approach Remembrance Sunday, it is yet again time to show our support. Whilst each year we dig in our pockets and put a few coins in, to wear our poppy with pride it is worth being reminded that with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Royal British Legion has it's work cut out. More servicemen need it's support than at any time since the 1940's/50's. Can I ask you to consider this before you donate. If you make a donation via the website with Gift aid, the Legion gets an extra 28p for every pound if you are a taxpayer. If every taxpayer in the UK donated £5, that would nearly £50 million pounds to help with it's work. Think what a difference that would make.
Here's the link, the rest is up to you :-
