The Falklands remembered

I remember well the Falklands campaign 25 years ago as it took place during the period when my brother, Mike, and I were planning to set up our business and the uncertainty of war caused us to re-think our plans (we went ahead & will be 25 years old in September). Yesterday evening's news brought that all back to me & I was interested to see the old tv footage and also the comments of people involved in the conflict. I was quite moved by the remarks of a lady who who was in the Falklands for the commemoration, having lost her son, and who was asked "was it all worthwhile?" She was certain in her response "most definitely, it was important to ensure that the people here kept their freedom". Brave lady.
