Gentles holiday snap
Us on holiday
Well the inquest has nearly finished and so far we have been told what we already knew - my brother was killed for nothing.
Says in the paper it prompted allegations of Ministry of Defence failings. Well the more I hear of this jamming device not being fitted - it could have saved Gordon’s life and was in a store room. Would you not say that the MoD are failing? I wouldn’t say it was an allegation I would say it’s the truth. Wouldn’t you? It makes me sick.

There was also was a bit in the paper saying Gordon had volunteered to be a 'top cover' sentry on an armoured Land Rover known as a Snatch. If Gordon did volunteer to do this it makes me even more proud of him.

I just wonder how some off these MoD people would feel it it was their son or daughter? And not just the MoD but the man who decided that our boys and girls should have to go to a war zone that had noting to do with us.
 
I don’t know how he sleeps at night. Probably goes out like a log. He goes around as if he doesn’t care. He doesn’t need to worry if his son or daughter is OK. Or how or why did it happen. Was it just to make him look important?

We were a happy family the 5 of us but now there's something missing. Gordon will always be with us but it’s not the same. How would he feel if he was to never see his son again, never see him smile again, never being able to give him one more hug. I don’t think you would like it. I will tell you why, because it hurts so much you will never know Blair.
