"Soldiers serve their country; they are servicemen and women. They get sent to wars and they fight, that’s their job and they do their job brilliantly. Sometimes they are killed while serving their country and when that happens it is a tragedy and we remember them with pride.
Sometimes they are wounded and when that happens we must care for them. These days our front line treatment and our medics are so good that our soldiers are surviving wounds that they would have died from 10 years ago. Some of those injuries are horrific, many are amputees and many are complex trauma cases. Nowadays they don’t die,… they survive and we must ensure that they go on to live good fulfilling lives.
These wounded soldiers are our boys and girls and they are our responsibility. We, the people of Great Britain are their parents, regardless of what we might think of the wars that they fight;…they are just ordinary people who we ask to do extraordinary things.. we ask them to risk their lives on our behalf. Which means doing our utmost to support them when things go wrong."

Appeal Chairman of Help For Heroes

Not every one agrees with our boys and girls being deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan and all the other shit holes most people havent even heard of . They serve to try and bring a better way of life to people worse off than themselves (Although looking at the deal when they get home you wouldnt think so) they do not choose where they go but always maintain an air of self discipline and go for months sacrificing their own family time on dire salarys god bless them all and get home safe.
