My nephew is out in Iraq at the moment, this little vid has been done as a tribute to three of his best mates who have lost their lives out there over the past six weeks or so.

My nephew is the first airman you see facing the camera on his own. Thankfully its only a couple of weeks till he's home.

respect to the guys. they're doing a hard but necessary job, and it winds me up when I hear people (invariably sheltered little uni girls) saying "we shouldn't have an army!"

Was it really necessary to have a shot of 'man with shovel' at 1:07? :D

Just watched the vid, good tribute. Thoughts are with the families who have lost loved ones.

Hoping for a speedy return of your nephew...time seems to tick slowly eh? did when my brother was out there and on other tours. Chin up..he came home to his wife & 3 kids safe and sound as I hope your nephew will too.
