I am deeply proud and honoured to call one of the Marines who was there a friend.

Cheers Dave.

Did you serve down there?

Did 5 tours down there over 22 years from early 90's. What our boys did over that terrain and in that weather was truly great!

Blimey, I only did a 4 month tour 1991/92, working in the RAF refuel flight.

Just rejoice at that news and congratulate our forces and the marines.



Still gets me choked up after all these years.

My half brother was there with Logistics Commando, having sailed down on Sir Bedivere.
My Dad did three tours in the 60s in the ice, South Georgia and the Falklands. We knew people in Stanley in the midst of it all.
Grateful thanks Royal. x

I know someone who fought there in the marines in 1982. He refuses to talk about what he did, what it was like, or anything to do with it.

On a lighter note, the Falkland Islands Twitter account posted this earlier this evening

Argentina doesn't do well against small islands, does it?

Replied, the previous tweet apparently offended lots of people, in Argentina. So we'd like to apologise... For absolutely nothing.
Viva Iceland.
