Christmas is for giving ... & this Christmas ... some will give their lives.

#LestWeForget those RIGHT NOW in #Ukraine, both armed forces & civilian families in harms way or having lost loved ones.

Just happened to browsing the NORAD tracker ... Santa is about to pass over #Bosnia.

Peace on earth & goodwill to all mankind. Peace needs to be all year round, not just at Christmas.

Please take a moment to remember our brave heroes who won't be home for Christmas. 🎄❤️

He made his own way out to Switzerland where the British Army then came & picked him up to take him the rest of the way.

I stayed at home with Mother.

He was back next day, via a German army med-evac Christmas Day with Chris ... after a very long night in Sarejevo.

Today ... 25 years ago, left work early & said to boss (local council architects dept) if wasnt in work Xmas eve, I was in the Bosnia warzone as volunteered to go out there.

Did have a comment about possibly being laid off ... like I cared.

Last minute ... Dad went out instead.

[Stephen Addis MCIAT @AddisSteve]

Then, the old man & me went around locally buying up all the Bosnian currency ... plus US dollars in case he needed to charter a medi-vac back to the UK.

Remember driving him around, & him jumping out to go in to the currency exchange, then onto the next one.

Yesterday, my father David was invested into, & awarded the ORDER of MERCY medal, in recognition of his voluntary work for & on behalf of the Royal British Legion.

Now they both have been recognised, as Mother was previously awarded an MBE for similar efforts.

#JohnnyDepp gained what money CANT buy,
RESPECT & SELF WORTH.

Any man broken enough to risk EVERYTHING to call it out MUST be heard.

GENDER EQUALITY in 2022 means
WOMEN CAN BE ABUSERS TOO.

@DomNicholls Thank you. Chris is my brother. Never knew those details. Only read redacted report published about XZ610 as a FOI request for someone, & never asked my folks to read their copy. Having seen a picture of the incident, can imagine it vividly.
