Remembering in Dawlish

The Service of Remembrance is even more poignant this year.

We stood with the people of Dawlish at the War Memorial and gathered in St Gregory's church for the Remembrance Service. The church was packed it was good to see so many young people attending this year. Churchs and Memorials all over the Country paid their respects and remembered the tragic cost not only of previous wars but also of present day wars.

7 Servicemen killed in a week

Support for the war is collapsing 63% of people want the troops withdrawn. How can our troops carry on if men they have trained turn and shoot when they are all relaxing over a cup of tea. What chance is there of ever winning this war.

We see in the papers and on our television screens the heartache this brings to families. Young children deprived of a father, sons, brothers, fathers all gone. We will pray for an end to the suffering of war, and remember those who have given their lives, so bravely for Queen and Country, and for their families.

On Wednesday Nov 11th at 11am pause and remember for 2mins. Wear your poppy with pride for all the gallant men who died for all
