Best answers:

  • Wish you didnt highlight this. Just spent loads more money on merchandise!
  • I wear my wristband every day withough fail!!!!
  • Have to agree that it is a plainly silly idea to be able to purchase an item that supports the forces and then not being able to display it
    Have to ask myself what sort of message does this send out to the general public
    surely it is exactly the same as wearing the poppy....this displays support and thanks for those that gave their lives in all conflicts.....is the wristband simply a modern equivilant
    I believe it is something that should be pursued to the very top....maybe it is something i will take up myself
  • Voted, and i agree about the wristband, it's daft to not be able to wear it with uniform, when it shows support for a forces charity.
  • just voted .... now on 18%
    keep it going
  • The wearing of the wristbands has been passed to Commanding Officers to decide whether or not to allow it,
    and No we are not allowed to wear them in my unit either
  • now
    19% (3950 votes)
  • I've just voted, and have posted the link on my Facebook page - fingers crossed!
  • Martin has very kindly agreed to the following to be posted onto the forum.
    It would be appreciated if this could be made a sticky thread
    Being deployed or detached?
    Don't just carry the images of your loved ones in your head…carry them with you.
  • This sounds really good, and I think we would be interested in something like this. Do you have any you can post pics of on here please?
    Have just had a quick glimpse at your site but the only ones I saw with photos on were Driving Licence type with writing on the side. Do you do just full pictures on the cards and/or can you do just a picture with a personal message on the side?
  • The picture is posted the full area of the card
    A personal message can also be added should it be required
    Will post some photos later on
  • Great! Think I will definatly be ordering a few and passing this on to other people to let them know.
    Hint hint, would love to be able to have a full photo on the front and personal message on the back
  • Marker,
    am sure if you want a messge on the back then i can certainly oblige
    I think however it would detract from the idea of having the photo
    surely if you want to place a message you want to be able to read it as you are looking at the photo?
    any messages on the back would be done in black ink only....but am more than happy to add the message for the advertised cost....it usually costs to print onto the rear of the card.......will maybe alter my original post to add the fact messages are available
    Thanks for your input...it is greatly appreciated
  • Quick note:
    Special permission was given for this poster to post the offer based on helping the charity. However that is taking him at his word. No check have been done on the company or its validity, so anything you do is at your own risk.

  • Martin,
    Thanks for the endorsement on this post
    Thus far have been unable to think of a valid way to ratify orders
    Am open to suggestions from members of the forum that will allow updates to be posted on those members who have ordered items.
  • I'll make this thread a sticky for now
