I have watched our injured servicemen this week and as an ex Royal Engineer it makes me proud to see these men show just what they can do, lost legs, arms and some times all four, this can be seen and recognised but many have mental problems that can't be seen but still as disabling, it is great to see these men represent their country once more and many taking Gold, we as a country should be proud of them and look after them in their health and well being, being a member of the armed forces is joining a family, you learn to look after yourself, keep yourself clean and your equipment, cook in the field, iron, polish and become part of a team, it is not easy it is in fact very hard, but you can be proud of the person you are, you never leave the family, you again become a civilian but things are then different for you life changes and at times become difficult to relate to the public, it takes a long time before you can feel at home if ever you do, you never forget the years you served and so seeing these men perform as they have brings tears to my eye's, they are a credit to this country!!!!!!!!!.
