• Humble thanks

  

  Today is a day to remember, and you have been much on my mind this morning. I never knew you Alex, but your story is known to us now and you rest in our churchyard where I spend much time. God keep you and bless you and all who have given their lives in the service of their country. The rest of us cannot truly understand but just be awed and humbled at the bravery and dedication of a few. Our prayers are with you and your family.

  ‘‘Thoughts & prayers we share with you soldier, your families, your friends left behind. We know you have not gone forever, just gone before us. We will meet again.
  GOD BLESS YOU - THANK YOU - REST IN PEACE .

  For Our Deceased Service Men and Women
  You are all-powerful, God, and live forever in light and joy. Look with pity and love, we beg You, on those men and women who bravely fought and gallantly died for their country. By laying down their lives, they showed supreme love for others. Accept, we ask You, their sacrifice and their belief in the justice of the cause they died for. Let their offering not be in vain. Please forgive any sins and faults they may have committed. Speedily, we implore You, bring them into Your Presence where fear, sadness, mourning, and death cannot exist. Have pity in Your loving kindness on those they leave behind. In Your own unsearchable ways, make good for their absence, and lavishly bestow Your love and consolations on those deprived of their presence. This we ask in the Name of Christ, our Victor King. Amen.

• I remember you as...

  I remember you as an awesome officer. I hated the Army but if I had more people like you to guide me I would have achieved a whole lot more. I remember when you came to court with me and spoke on my behalf. You were such a great leader and you will be so sorely missed. The words great and amazing are used too often nowadays but in your case they are so appropriate.

  As a Muslim I am grateful for brave young and men like yourselves who fight for what is right.

  Seeing this young mans face, and the faces of the other brave troops lost in the Afghanistan conflict, I'm reminded of the words of Douglas MacArthur: “The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.” Stand easy young man.
