It’s vital to remember the people who help us. That’s why we must never forget the unique sacrifice of our Armed Forces. See what we'll be remembering in 2020 ➡️ https://t.co/bLOqVqPg9u

@SandbachFS @PoppyLegion Well done guys - great that youngsters are able to show their support for the Forces in this way.

@ExForPlusCEO It is also up to the public to make it clear they want to hear more about this issue. That said, the only way we can do this as members of the public is to either write asking for more information on this topic, or stop buying that paper and explain we have stopped doing so.

[The Military Times @themilitarytime]

@ExForPlusCEO Of course we don't agree! But it is up to the public to make it clear that they think this is an important issue otherwise the politicians will be able to ignore it. So everyone has to do their bit to get the policy makers to force the defence ministry to do something about it.

Are you increasingly concerned about the way political leaders are using NATO as a football? Take a look at the report in TMT of the recent Watford 70th anniversary sourced from The Conversation. https://t.co/clUCSwpTaD

[Poppy Appeal Tonbridge @poppytonbridge]

Just met a lady wearing a 20 year @PoppyLegion merit badge. We have never met, but we got chatting away like we were old friends. She was very interested in the Tonbridge Poppy Appeal, how much we raised and all the past events we have done. The RBL is a family. A great family.

[The Military Times @themilitarytime]

he recent news of alleged British SF murders of four young men or boys in Afghanistan is disturbing. However, do we in the West rather arrogantly apply our cultural standards when it comes to saying who is an adult or child? See this article: https://t.co/xXkh7p1Rzc

Michael Bell & 2 friends he served with got matching tattoos during their first deployment together, marking their strong bond. For 100s of years sailors have tattooed their knuckles with a badge of their profession. Read more tattoo stories. ➡️ https://t.co/8hEU7gYsFQ @royalnavy
