I served in the British Army for 43 Years until retirement last August.<br /><br />US and UK Forces have operated together in two world wars, in Iraq and now Afghanistan - the UK Royal Marines have a close affiliation with the US Marine Corps.<br /><br />Service is given voluntarily and becomes a whole life choice. The standards expected are different and higher than, may be expected in Civil Life.<br /><br />There is an enormous amount of faith and trust in comrades, belief that what you are doing is making a difference to peace and security. <br /><br />The Military is a place where faith is found, not explicitly, but at a deep profound level - and military chaplains are widely respected, accepted and do vital work in maintaining morale. In the UK forces they are unarmed, therefore, reliant on those around them to protect them. This is unique to them.<br /><br />My Corps motto was "Animo Et Fide" (Loyalty and Fidelity).Ernesthttp://www.i-church.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050928059293791369.post-24216334569139645262010-03-25T13:49:44.789-04:002010-03-25T13:49:44.789-04:00Wonderful post and a great reminder to us all to l...Wonderful post and a great reminder to us all to live with such passion and committment.<br /><br />RachelRachelhttp://stirringthedeep.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050928059293791369.post-6015444888653337952010-03-24T07:53:02.501-04:002010-03-24T07:53:02.501-04:00Great stance lynn,

I grew up in a military household though -- and I always remember, living on base in Germany -- as you walked off base there was a full -length mirror at the guardhouse. On it were inscribed the words. "The person you see here represents your country. Be a proud Canadian. Act appropriately."<br /><br />Great post.
