I have been talking to a couple of people in sandier climes in recent days and have been shocked and to be honest p1ssed off to find out that many people out here have recieved nothing, not even a letter from home for Christmas.
To cut a long story short. I got talking to a pongo Warrant who told me that several of his lads were pretty down in the dumps as they'd recieved nothing from home whilst their mates had welfare packages, letters, cards etc. So I've done some digging and it's a more widespread probem than you'd think. I appreciate there may well be circumstances and reasons behind this but I can only imagine what a cr@ppy place this would be without something from home to cheer you up. Especially at this time of year!
So to the crux of this post. A simple plea, as service/ex service personnel we all know people away from home at this time of year, please don't leave it to others or think that "SAC X will be ok someone will write it's Christmas after all." Drop them a line, send them an email/ebluey. It'll take only a fraction of your day and it could make someones out here.
Thank you.
