This is a call to all commando veterans to send me your stories. We are going to have a permanent new section on the site for "Veterans Stories". This will be for veterans to provide their own personal account of their own experiences, or pay tribute to their commando friends. Simply send me the text either in a word document or an email, and include any photos that you want included with the article. I will then create the page and add it to the site for others to read.
I look forward to receiving your stories.
Dan

Great Idea Admin
I'll look forward to reading the younger vets stories as well as the more senior members of our gallant band.
The site is really starting to take shape as a place for genuine info on all things Commando.
Keep up the good work.

Don't worry about it being too long - it's your father's story and we would like to read it all...
