General Chat

When Prince Harry arrived back from his shortened trip to Afghanistan, he spoke to reporters about two wounded colleagues who were on the same plane as him.

I wonder why they were not shown on TV as Harry was?

Soldiers on stamps? In Iraq alone, 174 British soldiers have been killed, not to mention those who were wounded. Bit of a problem with stamps, don't you think?

SORRY BUT DON'T LIKE THE IDEA AT ALL.
REMEMBER THEM - YES.
ON STAMPS? NO!!!

you'd maybe then have a back lash from the relatives of all those killed in N Ireland. Would there be enough stamps?

Sounds a good idea. Putting faces to the anon' (cant spell) names makes it real. Rather than being forgotten. Sending letters and receiving them with the heros faces on them will remind everyone of what these brave people did for their country.

Well that's different, has it ever been done before?

I think returning deceased soldiers should have a parade through their home towns and all school children should be made to understand what these men and women have done for them. I know they are doing a job but it's not the same as working at Tesco's, is it? We need to celebrate our heroes so much more.

They certainly need commemorating. Don't know about the stamp idea, though.

if their families agree, why not I say - they died in a foreign field at this country's behest - I think it would be a most fitting tribute

ummmmmmmm don't know what to say about that...Joy..

it has been proposed that soldiers killed in iraq could have their faces put on our postage stamps what do you think
