    When I lost my friend in Afghanistan in 2011 his mums words to me were ‘bring him home’ after much begging I flew him home to be with his family. During the service his mum held my hand. I wasn’t going to let go. Seb, I will never forget the day you died with me in a ditch in Afghanistan. I stayed with you until your family took you to your rest. I think about you everyday. Sleep well mucker xx

      Whilst I agree with you wholeheartedly, I have to say that the bulk of the American population respect and honour their servicemen and women, both in the sacrifice of the fallen and those currently in uniform. They have come a long way since the appalling treatment of the Vietnam veterans 💪🇬🇧🇺🇸

      PBS airs the National Memorial Day Concert, which also includes stories of soldiers from various wars and their families. It is very powerful and touching. As a matter of fact, Alfie Boe has sung at the concert before. This was one of the best of Alfie’s performances.

      In the US we often chiming the two, rightly or wrongly. The Washington DC concert usually conflates the two beautifully. It memorializes those who have passed while still honoring outstanding veterans. Some of their stories are gut-wrenching and worth the telling before their death.

Soaked up those stories like a sponge. We are a theatre family, although I'm really the one who can sing and play anything. Saw Les Mis 7 times, memorized the score, and this song for high school talent show. Did the performance to 2000 people........crickets......mom was scared I was going to start slinging 4 letter words.........when everyone stood up and started screaming. My heart just about burst. Song was about prayer for saving of lives, and all I could do was grin and wave was I left the stage.

    I only have to hear this sung by Alfie Boe and I'm in floods of tears. Wonderful evening and no one, but no one, can do this like the British. Well done everyone and thank you so much to all our veterans for risking their lives so we can be free. Thank you just isn't enough.

    Oh Alfie, my heart, you still have it. The perfect voice to listen to in the dark with tree lights on. I firmly believe angels walk the earth, bringing comfort to those in need. And that is certainly me. Could you, uhh, walk just a little closer?
