Why we support H4H

Postby chris Hodgson » Thu Nov 17, 2011 8:57 pm

Because stories like this are way too common, and sadly this young lad came home today, for the last time. Didn't personally know him, but both me and my sister know his family.
He'd only been out there a few week, and had asked to be volunteered for front line duty :(

I think it came on the radio about this young lad Chris. Sad to see great lads dying in this way when I see shiftless worthless shites round where I live, virtually living out of a bottle outside the offie. I think HFH do a grand job. My Bro in law along with many others in the British goldwing riders do a 1000 mile ride every year to raise money for the RBL and for HFH ( money is spit equally between both charities.) Last year they did a sponsored bike ride though all the military graveyards in europe culminating in Ypres where they laid a wreath. there were 5000 bikers on the ride and they came from all over europe to join it.
Please dont hold back.Im here to learn and to learn you have to listen to the mistakes you have made,so tell me!

Bring back "Press Gangs" and use them to round up the scumbags off the streets, and send them out instead :twisted: :evil:

Their poor families, it's them that are left behind to deal with the trauma, as brave as the guys that step out on the frontline.....

we could cut out the cost of training and just get them, stick them on a plane with a parachute and a gun, drop them out over Afghanistan and say if your still alive at the end of five months( standard tour of duty) we might consider picking you up again.
