Popped up on my FB feeds today and too fun not to share.

That's great. At least they're keeping their sense of humour and fun going.

They're great aren't they? Have you seen this video of the Military Wives choir singing at the Albert Hall. The choirmaster Gareth Malone - a genius if ever there was one, took a group of miltary wives with no singing experience, whose husbands/partners were on duty in Afghanistan and turned them into a choir. The words of the song come from extracts of the letters they sent to their loved ones. The men all arrived home safely about three weeks ago.

Whatever it is, I'll watch it later Ken. It's still 5AM and whatever is on there, I don't want to rock the house down

Love this! I was a Navy wife for 30 years and those long deployments are tough on the crew and on the folks left on shore. I can't imagine how hard it was for a planned 7 week deployment to turn into 7 month deployment.
