On the train to inverness today, I watched two RAF Tornadoes on a manouvers exercise - practising the same move over and over above the Dornoch Firth. I thought about the young men and women on board the aircraft - probably only in thier 20s or early 30s - younger than me. I realised that soon they will probably be deployed to Afganistan to fight.
I thought of thier loved ones, waving goodbye, wondering if, hoping they would return home soon, safe and sound.
I was humbled, and eternally grateful for the brave men and women who protect us. Thank you from me.
