Good find Mr Preston. Utmost respect for all military personnel....but especially those who selflesly put themselves in danger to protect others.
Has personal significance for me as my dad has a one off print of himself doing his final "Longest Walk" or whatever you want to call it. He did two tours of NI during the troubles as an RAOC officer, tour of Falklands, Bosnia and 1st Gulf War.
here is one of my all time favourite pics of one of my hero's

my granddad. he fought in the second world war so we could all have a better life and to top it off he was a biker.

Respect to Mr Carey :0)
Sometimes i wish i had followed him into service.....but having grown up on bases and being an army child.....I just wanted to get away from it by time school was done.
It is nice sometimes to sit down with him and listen to the stories etc.....its something that i still love hearing. Makes me proud of him.
