we really should have a bank holiday for all service men. Not just for time off work like alot of people want but id love a day where (being christian,) to got church and pray/rememberence and have a very special day for all our servicemen!

And you dont have to be religous to join in. Pay your respects in your own way in a national day. Long live our brave people!

A tragic loss of life, condolances to his family. There should be a day of recognition for all service personnel (including Police, Fire and Ambulance staff) I cannot believe any sane human being believes in some omnipotent creature watching over us, those drugs must be strong. (I dont want to offend anyone, but there's as much evidence to support the Church of Pastafanarianism) as there is for "God" Im with the dyslexic agnostic, he didn't believe in Dog either!

Typical, no need for your opinions to come into this thread. For once its not about you or what you think. Thanks to all the other posters whose thoughts are welcomed by all who knew John.
