The British Armed Forces are a significant pillar of our national pride and for me the defacto global standard of military excellence. Those souls who serve and have served our country with dignity, proffesionalism, courage, honour and resilience all hold a special place in our hearts. I commend their bravery and willingness to stand up and be counted and protect us all from whatever tyrany may approach. Their devotion and selfless commitment should always demand the nations respect and continued support.
