Nov 5, 2009 - its called Sgt MacKenzie, and is written and sung by Joe Kilna Mackenzie, Joe Kilna Mackenzie son of Maria McCabe and the late Alex McCabe. Joe wrote the song in memory of his Grandfather a Moray man, from Bishopmill, who along with hundreds of other Seaforth Highlanders from the Elgin/Rothes area went to fight in the great war. Sgt Charles Stuart MacKenzie was bayoneted to death at, the age of 35, while defending one of his badly injured colleagues in the hand to hand fighting of the trenches.

Nov 5, 2009 - While many question the government's motives for deploying our troops in current theatres, I know few - if any - who do not support every single one of our (and our allies') armed forces. Well done and thank you.

Nov 6, 2009 - I came home today from a long shit week at work and complained to the wife that I'm in a job I dont really like..... after watching this a moment ago, Ive realised maybe MY job isnt so bad and I should stop moaning. You cant put into words how much gratitude we owe our soldiers. I wear my poppy with honest pride.

Nov 7, 2009 - I am a combat veteran, I am an American, I am a British Guards Reenactor. God Bless them all and RIP. To the Grenadier Guards and RMPs who just lost their lives, and the men and women at Ft. Hood, Texax. May our people one day figure out what price is paid for their freedoms. Honor them Nov 11th. Take the time to remember. Please.

Nov 7, 2009 - We cannot let others forget how these lads suffer so the rest of us can live in so called peace. Wear your poppy and wear it with pride. I am an ex-service woman and lost some good friends. They didn't get the chance to grow older or to see their families grow up. These lads deserve far morre support than they get. They are all some Mother's son (or daughter) keep their memories alive.

Nov 7, 2009 - Our present Soldiers see more combat operations that at any time since the great wars and in an enviroment that is more hostile and without the true political support for doing the job they have been sent to do. We salute you.

Nov 7, 2009 - Powerful Video. Respect to all those men and women who serve. And remembering those who have fallen, RIP. This is maybe not the time, but it angers me that our politicians don't provide them with the proper tools and resources. They were quick enough to reward themselves (until they got found out) and bail out our irresponsible bankers. How many sets of body armour do you think could be bought with those massive financial bonuses that were recently handed out!

Nov 8, 2009 - This video made me cry. I may not always agree that wars that our troops fight defend our freedom, but that doesn't mean I'm against the British troops. They're doing the job they were sent to do by our leaders, and some do so with genuine compassion and concern to protect the public not just in Britain but in other countries. We all support troops in our own way, but I just feel the best way to support them is to bring them home, or take them out of combat missions and into humanatrian support.

Nov 8, 2009 - This sounds worse, but I was standing at the Remembrance parades today. I was standing at ease, my feet were cold, my hands were going numb, my knees were getting sore, my back was getting tense...and then I remembered that while I was being a whiny bitch, there were guys at that moment that had been in the most horrendous situations, and I had absolutely no right to complain about mine at all

SheffieldTV Says:
