Totally agree. Listen to anything Geoff Wellum has to say. He remembers things as clearly as if they were yesterday. He said "People ask me, how do you remember those things from all that time ago? I say, how can I ever forget?"

Every time I hear the stories that these men tell, my respect for them grows. Thanks to men like them I've never had to put myself in harms way.

The most unfortunate thing about that is that in the past I've taken too many things for granted and haven't even thought about the sacrifices that these men have had to endure for me to live the way I can.

Slowly as I'm getting older and now have got kids of my own, I am slowly realising the price that these men paid in their youth.

Cheers!
