We pause today to remember Lance Corporal George Hooley as he returned home to the UK.
Before his passing, Lance Corporal Hooley wrote a letter to his family and friends to be opened in the event of his death. At their request, we now share his words with you.
Our thoughts remain with his family, friends and colleagues. May his words bring comfort to all who read them.
Please do not forget about us. Do not get used to it.
This is what Toretsk looks like today — a Ukrainian city destroyed by the russians. It is no longer a city, only ruins💔
Ukraine is fighting for life, for every city, every person, every home.

(Alas, it came second!!!)
A Russian missile struck an ordinary city, directly hitting a street in an area with residential buildings. Preliminary reports suggest it was a ballistic missile strike. As of now, 14 fatalities have been confirmed, including six children. My condolences to their families and loved ones.
The rescue operation is ongoing, at least five residential buildings have been damaged.
Russian strikes occur every day. People die every day. There is only one reason why this continues: Russia doesn't want a ceasefire, and we see it. The whole world sees it. Each missile, every attack drone proves that Russia seeks only war. And only the world's pressure on Russia, all efforts to strengthen Ukraine, our air defense, and our forces—can determine when the war will end.
The United States, Europe, and the rest of the world have the capacity to force Russia to abandon terror and war. And this must be ensured—peace is needed.
