Having had three sons in the Forces - one off to Afghan soon - it moves me to see the folk of Wootton Bassett turn out to pay their respects to the dead as they pass through their town.. (I think 'Gronnuck' mentioned this place in an earlier posting) but came across this petition below with the following statement:
"The people of Wootton Bassett in Wiltshire turn out constantly and selflessly to honour the servicemen and women who gave their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan and should be recognised by the Government for this meaningful act. It would be nice to see some sort of meaningful recognition and not just a line spoken in Parliament. A lot of people in the country are proud of what the town is doing and would like to see the Government recognise it too."

My signature is now on there..
