Dear all, Thank you for taking the time to read our first newsletter.

When I was out in Afghanistan I saw how happy the troops were on receiving parcels and the faces of some of them who didnt get any, so thought I would set up a site that not only sends out parcels to the troops, but is also there for the families left behind so they can come on and chat. I didnt for one minute realize how popular this was going to be. I have a great crew behind me working on the site and helping to keep it running the way it is. I want to thank each and every one of you that are, have or will be donating to this great cause. Keep it up and hope to speak to you all soon Ricky Coleman -------------------------------------------------------------------------On to our projects, a massive thanks is in order to all our members who helped make the KAF WW2 Tea party a huge success a special thanks to Rachel Henery & the staff at EFI for all the hard work they put into it, Im sure the Halloween party will be just as, if not more, successful. The padre project is well underway and another great success, many of you have already seen the letter that was received in thanks of our support from the padre. And from everyone here at SFSG enormous thanks to all who are helping.

In Remembrance They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn At the going down of the sun and in the morning WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
IN FLANDERS FIELDS In Flanders fields the poppies blow between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

And now for the big push. We are on a big recruitment drive after procuring a further 800 soldiers to support so come on boys and girls spread the word to your friends and family, share the link (www.sfsginfo.co.uk) and help us help them!
Wed like to send our warmest wishes to Ian Mckenzie & his son who has returned home keeping us up to date makes us all feel a part of the occasion. Salute x
