THE 1 MILLION SIGNATURE SALUTE.........

In a country of 60million people, is that such an impossible dream

All signatures will be printed, bound and presented to a Military Base or Civilian Unit as a symbol of your Pride.

All we need is for you to send us your support and appreciation, - just a name, a comment - thats all it takes.

'Thank you to everyone who has returned the signatures lists. It is much appreciated.'

We the undersigned, feel that the courage and strength shown by our serving Military and Civilian Emergency Services deserves recognition and acknowledgement by everyone. We should always remember that 'so few take on responsibility for so many'

Thoughts are with our Serving Marines 40 Commando in Afghanistan, hope they all come home safetly.
Wife of Marine, Bedfordshire

After having seen this site in its infancy, I am more than thrilled that it has become so huge and that the work that it set out to do is being accomplished. My father was in the RAF and my uncles are from a military background yet I have never known such emotion from reading this site. Being in the forces, emergency services etc, is a job I could never do but I take my hat off to all those that are passionate about our past, present and future.For every son, daughter, father, mother, wife, husband, nephew, niece and so on, may your family’s pride be an expression of the country.
Come home safely
Gail Babatunde, Staffordshire

I would just like to say a BIG THANK YOU to all our service men and women, it's about time this country did something to recognise the brilliant job done by these brave men and women, without the bravery of our troops where would we be , I shall wear my purple ribbon at all times with pride.
I would also like to say to my son-in-law currently serving in Afghanistan how very proud we are of him and the job he does as well as all the other armed forces, may god bless you all and bring you home safe and well .
G.A.Holyoak-Foster, South Yorkshire

I admire and support you all return home safely from wherever you are
Graham Moore, Welshpool

I think it is really important that we get behind all our service men and women. It does not matter if you agree with whether or not they should be there. The point is they are!! Therefore they deserve to know their country is behind them!
Thank you!
Celia EVANS

Great work by our unsung hero's.
Derek and Val Freer, Whittington

To all the brave lads and girls that risk so much each and every day - remember that when things are getting you down, there are people that support and respect what you do. Keep smiling, but more importantly stay safe x
Julia Batham, Tamworth

To the Guys and Gals at the sharp end, we support you even if those in power don't. Being ex-service (22 years) I am fully aware of all the hardships you are going through. May you all return safely to your families.
Alan & Min Batham Tamworth

As at various times over the years, I have been a daughter (and daughter in law) of, a wife of, mother of, sister of and various other ‘ofs’. I was born into the RAF and my husband served for 22 years, my son is currently serving in the RAF.I am so pleased to be able to add my thanks to all those who serve. So much is given with so little recognition for the sacrifices made daily. I salute you all.
Pauline Trick, Leconfield, East Yorkshire

THANK YOU ALL, I come from a service family and know how people take for granted what you all do on a day to day basis with very little appreciation or recognition. I will be proud to wear a purple ribbon to show my support. Louise Trick, Market Weighton, Yorkshire

Thank you, whichever part of the Armed forces or Emergency services you are in, you are highly respected and admired for your bravery and professionalism. You are a credit to your Nation and communities.
Chris' Buet. Tamworth, Staffordshire.

As an ex-matelot who served in the Falklands and the 1st Gulf War I fully support what you are aiming to achieve in ensuring that those who have given so much in recent times are remembered too. You also importantly encompass not just the military but also the Emergency Services who risk their lives and give every day too.
Gary Stanton

Keep up the good work - and your chins!

Ex-London Metropolitan Police Force,

Just want to say thanks to the brave men & women who fight for our freedom and keeping us safe on our streets. All the best. Rob Nelson

For all who work and serve with these Services and the families who are at home waiting for these brave men and women, there are not words enough to show our respect and gratitude.. Margaret Harding and family

Thank you for doing what I could not. So many people do support and appreciate our Armed Forces but do not know how to express it. Olivia Denholm, York

You are the true backbone of Britain, May God protect you all.
Deep regards, Keith Benham, Wallingford

This is an amazing job you're doing.
Tim Warlow

I was born during WW11, so I probably would not be here- or I would be speaking German – were it not for your brave predecessors (including the many who served to keep civilians safe at home). Next came those keeping my children safe through the “cold war” Now I am relying on those currently serving to keep my grand-children safe. My thanks to you all.
Sue Smith, Coventry

Good Luck and thanks to all of you
Ian Moffatt - Former Sgt Royal Artillery

To all the brave, professional men and women who make the silent majority proud to be British, I say to you many of us may disagree with how the Government has taken us to war, but we are 100% behind what you are doing and will never be able to repay the sacrifice that too many of you have had to make. You’re doing the job that most of us wouldn’t and couldn’t do. Come home soon.
Murray Hunter, Newark, Nottinghamshire

Just to say thank you for the often unrecognised service and sacrifice that you give for the people of this country. It is appreciated and valued. You are 'The Best',

A big big thankyou to all the troops, past and present, serving for a better world. It is ridiculous that the papers have absolute crap on the front pages when we have hero's all over the world fighting for justice. Great work and keep it up. We really do support and appreciate all that you do.

Having 4 children to my ex-husband who is still serving in the royal navy, a brother who was in the army and numerous friends throughout the forces, I am a huge supporter of what our lads and lasses do.
The politicians do the organising of conflicts while it is our forces, with grit and determination who see it thro and keep us safe.
Keep up the good work guys because Ifor one support your hard work and unfaltering courage in what you do!
Dawn Moss

We have thousands of servicemen in dangerous situations all across the world. Whether or not you agree with the motives behind this mobilisation, the fact remains that our Army, Navy, Airforce and Emergency Services are there, far from their homes and families, in conditions that are far from ideal. And they deserve our thanks. They deserve our respect. They perform tremendous acts of courage and bravery in the course of their normal working day. How many of us can say that?

Growing up in Woolwich I developed an early pride and respect for the Royal Artillery and was proud to see my Great Grandfather's name on the Memorial by the Rotunda.
I am unable to tell him how proud I am of him for serving his country and how much respect I have for what he did, so this is a wonderful opportunity for me to remember him and to wear a purple ribbon to show my support and appreciation for the men and women in our Armed Forces and Civilian Services of today. Thank you, to all of you.
with love and respect,
