Armed Forces Day

Today we honour those who serve and have served in the Armed Forces of this nation.

Across the UK there will be services and acts of remembrance (the main event this year being in Cardiff). Can I ask those who read this spare a moment to give thanks for those who have served or are serving and :

To pray for the families, friends and comrades of those who have fallen, remembering especially those who have died recently in Afghanistan  - the total (as I write) having reached 307 personnel

To pray for those who are currently in rehab or hospital as result of their service and commitment in foreign places

To remember those who have been injured or killed during training

To remember those veterans of the WW2 and other conflicts, many of whom are suffering from age and the wounds (mental and physical) from their service
