This is for our lads!

[TWR]

We might be miles apart
but our thoughts, are thoughts for you
you take the flak from all sorts of folk
but your fighting for them, and that's no joke
I will put up my glass, the toast is for you
come home safe our lads
your Mums , Dads, children,
all of us are thinking of you.

[marval]

That is lovely, my thoughts are with them too.

[jackthehat]

It would be churlish not to agree with the sentiment even if the scansion is a little awry.

[wendilla]

My thoughts are with them and their families too hope they all come home safe.

Well said TWR. To all our lads and lasses I wish you a safe Christmas and God speed to return home to you families.

[TWR]

I had a though & I put what I thought Blackout, Murraymints, Jd, If you @arsols have no thought only Criticism, up you, I could not give a toss, it shows what sort of @rsols you are, Have a merry xmas, & I hope you have the SHTS,

TWR - I did not associate any of the posters you mention having supported Blackout's unnecessary comment.

They are one of the few things we can be proud of this Xmas. Reminds me of the Kipling? poem

"Its Tommy this and Tommy that and Tommy go away,
But its Mister Thomas Atkins when the drums begin to play"

[seadogg]

Having mangled that poem herewith the proper version
