Do you think that the Armed Forces get enough respect in this country or not?
I saw this posted on Facebook and it made me think
My little brother is in the Royal Navy, this week he has been in New York on the way home from his tour of duty (if anyone saw the C5 thing about HMS Manchester he's been doing that but on a different ship). He was saying that they were all in uniform walking round, people were stopping them to have a few words, women wanted their photos taken with them, and when they went to the Empire State Building they were ushered to the front of a 2 hour queue like VIPs.
I was gobsmacked, bear in mind that they're not serving in the US Navy and are visitors the amount of respect they were shown was amazing.
He said they don't get treated anywhere near like that at home.

Charlie Sheen is all over the news because he's a drug addict. Justin Bieber was all over the news for 2 days because he cut his hair. While Andrew Wilfahrt 31, Brian Tabada 21, Rudolph Hizon 22, Chauncy Mays 25, Christopher Stark 22, Kristopher Gould 25, David Fahey 23, Liam Tasker, 26 (and Theo, his dog) are all soldiers who gave their lives this week with no media mention. Honour THEM by re-posting this.
