Support message for all our Troops from someone who knows how hard it can be
John Nichol is a former RAF Tornado Navigator - he was shot down over Iraq in 1991 and held as a POW. He is now a writer and broadcaster - his website is www.johnnichol.com Having served 16 years in the RAF - including deployments to the Falklands, UN duties over Bosnia, and of course the Gulf, I know just how important contact with home can be. That's why I am fully behind Parcels 43 and all of the charities fighting for better conditions for our troops. For many years now, our political leaders have relied too heavily on the dedication, resolve and team spirit of our fighting men and women - the time has now come for the nation to give something back. There can be very few people who do not believe that our armed forces are over-stretched and under-resourced; at some point soon this situation has to change or the system will simply break. I send my best wishes and incredible admiration to all our military men and women - they are doing an incredible job amidst almost impossible circumstances. Their sacrifice knows no bounds and their country is supremely proud of them - and they can be justifiably proud of themselves. cheers John Thankyou so much John for this statement, John has kindly agreed for this to also be added to the website
