Dear Friend

Christmas is always a time of reflection for people who have suffered loss. But we don't have to suffer alone, and we don't have to suffer in silence. Instead, we want to remind the Government of the sacrifices our loved ones have made, and continue to make.

We will be traveling to 10 Downing Street on Monday, December 21, to demand to see Gordon Brown and present him with a petition signed by tens of thousands of people who are calling for the troops to be brought home.

We have suffered terrible personal loss in this war in Afghanistan and we don't want any more families to go through the same pain.

Everyone knows now this is a pointless war, deeply unpopular in Britain and Afghanistan. The most recent poll shows 71 percent of people in Britain want troops home within a year.

Young lives are being sacrificed so that politicians can save face.

Britain is supporting the US just to keep up the so-called special relationship. Meanwhile the death toll is mounting.  It is high time the troops came home.

A vigil for those who have been killed in Afghanistan and in Iraq.

We will be joined at Downing Street by families who have lost loved ones or whose loved ones are still in Afghanistan. We have also invited former soldiers.

Please join us at Downing Street on Monday December 21 at 5pm and help make sure the Prime Minister listens.

Joan Humphries, grandmother of Private Kevin Elliott who died on foot patrol this year in Afghanistan,

Graeme Knight, father of Sergeant Ben Knight who died in the Nimrod Helicopter crash, Afghanistan 2006.
