Thanks to @NorwichCityFC @NorfolkElliot for organising this seasons Armed Forces appreciation event last night. We enjoyed hosting @ArmedForcesOwls before/ after the game, good bunch of guys. Thanks to all the fans last night for a great reception at halftime @nevtownsend
Mr President @POTUS, I was concerned by your recent comments regarding NATO troops, which are not borne out by the facts. The reality is that the United Kingdom lost over 1,000 service personnel killed or seriously injured while serving on the front lines in Afghanistan, fighting shoulder to shoulder with United States forces. They were not behind; they were at the forefront of combat operations.
Were you to ask members of your own military, they would tell you of the highest regard in which UK service personnel are held, regard that is fully reciprocated by us for US troops. I hope that, at the earliest opportunity, you will correct your statement so that it properly reflects the courage, professionalism, and sacrifice of UK service personnel.
The club has been so supportive too. We'd like to share that at the Coventry game on the 26th jan, in the 80th minute, the photo of grandad and my son will be displayed on the screen. We would be honoured if fellow fans joined us in his memory with a round of applause please.
Forces2Canaries sponsored a Christmas get together at RBL Halsey House in Cromer last week. Thanks to HH staff and F2C members @Basher1959@nevtownsend Debbie Townsend and Ivan Sadd for helping to make this happen.
