UPDATED 8 British Soldiers Return from Afghanistan

There was a very moving picture in the Washington Post of the procession of eight hearses passing through the village near the RAF Airbase where they were brought in by a I believe USAF C17. I could not find the pictures, but I did find a video account. I have added a link to the Economist’s article on this subject.

    It was tremendously moving.

    (Also, it was an RAF C-17A, not a USAF one.)

    It’s an RAF C17. Oldest son works there, at RAF Lyneham. Lives in Wootton Bassett. Contrary to many accounts, the Brits are VERY respectful of their Soldiers, as evidenced by this video.
