About Purple Salute

Purple Salute was created to celebrate life, bravery and courage. In a time of upheavel and discontent, the courage of those who protect us is tested time and time again. For those service men and women who are willing to 'take that one step more' it really is time to say THANKYOU.

To our MILITARY and EMERGENCY SERVICE men and women who give so much, WE SALUTE YOU.

Small ImagesThe Living Tribute Trail
We intend to plant a tree in every town and city in this country, somewhere for everyone to go and give thanks for the safety of their loved ones serving their country throughout the world.

'When the serving men and women of today become the veterans of tomorrow, the Living Tribute will bear witness to their bravery and of those following behind'


Hampers Every Christmas, we aim to expand our delivery of hampers to those serving 'at home' but away from their families. RAF, ARMY, NAVY, POLICE, FIRE, AMBULANCE services all give up their time and take continuing risks every day of the year. We WILL be there for them.

 

The Book of Pride. All your comments and feeling wrapped in this Book of Pride which is to be sent all around the country and overseas bases as a symbol of your Pride.

Bob O'Connor, in whose memory, Purple Salute was created.

On January 30th 2005, Hercules XV179 was brought down in Iraq and all ten on board lost their lives. In their memory, and for all those who have fallen in defence of their country, Purple Salute was formed to allow the public to show how much they care about those who continue to work for freedom and safety.

My beloved fiancee, Bob loved life, and enjoyed it to the full. He cared about and respected the people with whom he served, and it is for them, the friends and colleagues he left behind that we intend to say Thank you.

Bob, we will always remember you with a smile. Now, Forever, Always.

And for my son, who was so seriously hurt one year and 29 days before Bob died. With so many thanks to the police and paramedics who ensured that he is with us today.




We would like to give our heartfelt thanks to Neil Thomas, who built this website and designed the fliers out of respect for a very dear friend, and out of consideration for those who carry on 'taking that one step more'.........
