Well they pinned a Silver Cross medal on my Mother-in-law and said thank you ma'am for your sacrifice, we'll see you next Remembrance Day.  She was 46 when her son died.  She'd never worked, her job was to take care of her son and then her husband.  Her son had sent her 20 pounds a pay period to...

Oh, how we soon forget the Leglace case... Not so long ago (1993), the Government said, no to common law partners of CF members being eligible for benefits.  It was challenged, the usual arguments were applied and we now have common-law status and benefits conferred.  Don't be so quick to...

Just a thought, but maybe we could combine a M&G with one of the shows at Fort Henry?  There's a mini Tattoo on around the 27th of July (for example).

*cough* You know with all this talk about Lady Luck being the main reason any team gets to the playoffs and finals is *not* giving a compelling reason for the thousands of spouses, who hate hockey, to be convinced that their spouse not doing stuff around the house in lieu of watching the games...

Well according to the Alberta Landlord and Tenant Act, the landlord has complied with the terms in which to terminate (not evict) a lease.  We don't know the terms of the above lease, but assuming for argument sake that it was a yearly lease and that contained within the terms of the lease are...

Oh heck, I'm just going to move into the therapist's office while these threads are going on...lol

I’ve been thinking about this thread and the issues that it covers quite a lot over the last few days.  It certainly has brought up some painful memories for me, especially since the anniversary of my husband’s death is approaching. Yet, I want to be able to say to the families especially the...

Just a small point of Prince Andrew's risk factor being minimised with him being in the air...how do you think he got to the Falklands? Flew? Swam? Paddled? Arrived via worm hole? He and his Sqn, were on board a ship for the three weeks it took to sail down there.  Those very same ships that...

Grandson: Sorry to hear about your grandfather.  If you haven't already been in touch with the Red Cross/Red Crescent organization, you might want to start there.  They have a missing persons division and if you can give them as much information about your grandfather, such as birth dates, all...

I'm so very pleased for Lt. Pun, VC! Well done folks over at ARRSE, and the multitude of service orgs that revved up the old British Resolve and wrote, emailed, called and visited their MPs and officialdom to make Lt. Pun's case.  I hope that the questions to his pension are resolved soon and...

And the start...

Here's a pic of the Hill... I loved the reverberation of the 3 Hoorays around the downtown core...it gave me shivers hearing it.

It was awesome, I have some pics to post later (after I blurr out the very visible faces of pers) and I even had one pic taken of moi and the big guy! But this one pic says it all...

IIRC, in the US Mil, confirmation by the Red Cross is required if a family member is claiming an emergency etc so that the member's CoC may begin the necessary paperwork to get said member on his/her way home/contact etc.  This is where family members may be falling prey to these scams as they...
