I thought that this last message from the RN Padre was worth posting. From the article;
“In this, our stripped-down Afghan Christmas, it is humbling to see how our guys draw strength and determination from their fallen comrades.
Earlier today, I watched informally after the memorial service and saw the numbness of life and death become warmed by deep thought, jokes, respect and smiles.
For us, this year will bring a thoughtful Christmas celebration, full of quiet compassion, respect for others and a deep understanding of the power of life and death.
From Helmand, Merry Christmas. And may your eyebrows stay with you.”
Indeed his words were quite touching, thank you for that.
