My heart goes out to Lee Rigby's family especially his two year old son who will grow up without a father. RIP
RIP, our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues, but also those who witnessed this most awful act.
written by Fusilier Anthony McLoughlin:- Just out for a walk after an early stack Not looking for trouble, not watching my back Mothers with prams holding hands with their kids Not paying attention to the car as it skids Caught completely off guard not expecting what comes One man with a knife another with guns No chance of defence no chance to fight back Looking for help as the cowards attack An angel arrives as the light turns to grey A woman attempts to steer attackers away My last thought of 'Thank You' never strays from my brain As my body shuts down and I feel no more pain. I look to my left and I look to my right Thousands of squaddies are all that's in sight Uniforms are crisp and their faces are clean No sign of anger or hate to be seen As if by command they salute all as one The RSM smiles, says 'Welcome home son' Rest easy soldier xx
