Its a shame the Government themselves don't have a system of searching out and looking after these ex-forces people, shell shock has only recently been recognised really but they knew from the second world war what it did to people. To live such a cushioned life, to put your life on the line and then to be turfed out onto the street, literally, is disgusting in my book. That is so sweet that Grace said that and that she remembered? xxxxSamsHomeCookedDesigns.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18430859428545806157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-40742795735906364382014-05-28T12:26:39.705+01:002014-05-28T12:26:39.705+01:00I love this print Barbara and the sentiment contai...I love this print Barbara and the sentiment contained within is obviously heartfelt by you and lovely Grace and I agree that anyone who serves their country and puts their life on the line should not be left to rot on the streets. In the ideal world their would not be any conflict but as things are not likely to change any time soon we should do what we can to help the military charities. My husband and I do help to some degree through the things we are involved with here in Somerset, but it's only a drop in the ocean really, but better than nothing. Thank you for making us think about these things though because I am sure we could all do a lot more if we tried. xPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889103826921393113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-25576732369537277492014-05-28T11:51:51.433+01:002014-05-28T11:51:51.433+01:00Gracie is beautiful inside and out! xxx Gracie is beautiful inside and out! xxx Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270701404492475617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-25587622755880768722014-05-28T11:41:16.671+01:002014-05-28T11:41:16.671+01:00Your story brought tears to my eyes Barbara.
