Happy New Decade

Here we are in another decade,a new year that I actually never expected to see AGAIN....there must be a God.

The world news over the holiday period brings more reports of terror,and it now seems the World leaders are going to take action on Yemen.
This is another thing I never expected to rear it's ugly head again in my lifetime,whether I had been ill or not,it is Yemen where...,as a young man in the Royal Navy...,I came under attack from Yemen terrorists.At the start of my blog,it states about one of my 'cat lives' being blown up,well,it was Aden,Yemen,that this happened,in the 60's...,I was on early morning guard duty with a friend,guarding a Royal Navy boat yard with a small wall around it,when,as usual,the school bus passed by on its weekday run with children onboard,I heard a 'PING' immediately realized a grenade had been activated,we shouted simultaneously GRENADE,both jumped over the little wall as it went THUMP...(a noise grenades exploding make lol).
We both lived to tell the tale,but it goes to show the lengths that terrorists took even in THOSE days even hiding in a school bus, if you need more info about the conflict it is HERE.
God protect and watch over all our service personnel and security services in their demanding jobs.
