They Are Not Forgotten03/2009

We wanted to share this email with you, which was received by us recently.

As you may or may not know, we are proud to support the Military Families Support Group.

The following email was sent by a Swedish family to the main email address of the MFSG:

"To the families of soldier Adam Smith 1988-2007, soldier Kevin Thompson 1986-2007, soldier John Rigby 1983-2007, soldier Shaun Brierley 1975-2003, soldier Gordon Pritchard 1974-2006, soldier Richard Palmer 1974-2006, soldier John Jones1974-2006, soldier Matthew Bacon 1973-2005 and soldier Michael Smith 1968-2007.

In the early morning of the 21th of March 2009, we found nine remembrance cards attached to nine broken ballons, deep in our forrest in the south of Sweden.

We were deeply touched when we realized the meaning of these cards.

We have been reading about your loved ones and we can truly understand that you are very proud of them and we are so sad about your loss.

We would just like to tell you that their stories touched us and that we talk about them even though we didn't know them.

The cards landed in a very peaceful and beautiful part of our forrest and we will forever think about your boys when we pass this part.

With best regards

Linda Dunbäck and Per Johannesson

Strömby
Torsås, Sweden"

It certainly touched us and we wanted to share it with you.
