A monstrous challenge for RQ Farrell. I've no doubt he'll smash it, particularly as he'll know what a good cause all the kind donations will go towards. Please, if you can sponsor or at least retweet to spread awareness - that would be greatly appreciated. @tomcopsymes@ArmyCGS
The first ever Veterans' Survey has been launched today.
