A Man Of honor - A True Soldier

This story has been reported on here at SA, about Prince Harry, but this follow-up story tells you more about a real man that understands duty, honor, country and what it means to endure the sufferings and sharing the risks of his band-of-brothers. He gets my respect, my admiration, a salute and a wish that he is allowed to get back with his fellow soldiers.

I even like this image of his father and brother, like any other family greeting their son and brother home from battle:

Harry will be gutted at having to come back two weeks early but that will be nothing compared with the devastation he would feel if this was to be the only chance he ever gets to fight for his country.

staying at the Household Cavalry barracks in Windsor for any extended period of time while the rest of his regiment is away fighting is not a prospect that will please Harry, who is desperate to do something meaningful with his life.

A friend said: “He was going mad at Windsor and got to the point where he felt totally useless.

“I spoke to him a few times and he sounded incredibly down.”

This was no game by Prince Harry, he was serious, he wants to be a professinal soldier and a regular guy, not some show horse for Britain! My best to you Harry! You are a true soldier!

I am not one for fawning over aristocracy, but Harry has sure gained my respect.  He has been good for himself, good for the royal family, and good for the UK.  What a contrast to the usual news from that sector!  He may inspire a whole genereation of men to honorably serve.

He is coming back two weeks early?  TWO WEEKS!!!

He had only been there 10 weeks.  What the hell kind of tour is three months?
