I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09855428533157647591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29874674.post-74856552801391715932010-04-04T08:19:20.756-04:002010-04-04T08:19:20.756-04:00Oh yes, I remember the war very well.

In other words which were out on manoeuvres and when they came back safely. I remember being very proud of Mrs. Thatcher and how she handled the sending out of the task force showing such care for such a tiny part of our possessions. The whole thing, as it panned out, was very sad really. I did feel sorry for the young Argentinian soldiers too as they were stripped of their pride. All wars are bad and sad but perhaps some are necessary. You have to look at the bigger picture. I'm so sorry you lost your friend, but you will never forget him. He will live in your memory forever.<br />Blessings, StarStella Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699491230987143490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29874674.post-23118260206387345772010-04-04T01:22:46.286-04:002010-04-04T01:22:46.286-04:00I remember the Falklands War clearly.

He lost many good friends in the fighting..returned home..had a complete mental breakdown and has never been the same since. Just one sad story to come out of another pointless war.Ayakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903896106779269050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29874674.post-60866994574928953142010-04-04T00:09:55.117-04:002010-04-04T00:09:55.117-04:00RIP indeed.
