Recently I've come across a campaign that concerns ex-service men and women in Scotland. pipes; It is run by an organisation called Erskine.

http://www.erskine.org.uk/

They are celebrating 90 years of caring for Veterans throughout Scotland.

Founded in 1916, Erskine has provided nursing and medical care for former members of our Armed Forces through two world wars and the more recent conflicts and peace keeping initiatives of the twentieth and twenty first centuries.

Re-building shattered lives, restoring dignity and providing first class care to veterans young and old have been the cornerstones on which Erskine has built an unrivalled reputation.

Their latest ad always gets to me as it shows the 'other side' of war than what is usually portrayed in the media:

How about letting them advertise/put a link for free on this forum? (As advertising costs money too)

Here is a link for the UK residents that would like to support Erskine through Payroll Giving or Give As You Earn (GAYE):

I've just found out that my company has GAYE so I'm going to sign up for this within the next week or so.
