    Thanks very much for this. I am personally in awe of the forces, I’ve told my kids to think about a career as a force personnel.

    In respectful and loving memory of our fallen, our Veterans, and those who daily give so much to those who never realize their sacrifices and those of their families, both in and after service. Thank you all, and may God bless you and yours.
