To Be Ridiculously Proud Of My Husband...

because he has just been awarded the Military Cross?!

(awarded due to actions during his time in Afghanistan last year)

DH would do anything to change the circumstances which have led to this, but I know it means a lot to him.

Congratulations to MrMidori. He does a very hard job in horrible circumstances and deserves the medal completely.

You have good reason to be proud.

Well done that woman's husband. Perhaps you should have a small part in his success. keeping the home fires burning and all that.
But really It's nice to have a positive story about a fab husband. well done both.

Hey, look what I just found.

Bars are awarded to the MC in recognition of the performance of further acts of gallantry meriting the award. Recipients are entitled to the postnominal letters MC.

yes, congratulations to your DH. Sure there is probably a sad story behind him getting it but what a brave brave man he must be.

Thankyou so much everyone. He's a bit embarrassed I posted, but also pleased our forces have so much support, as it's not always immediately obvious.

DH was awarded the military cross for a number of things during the whole tour, including day to day stuff and things that happened during 'incidents', although he won't tell me some of it. (maybe as he is going back next year and thinks it best I don't know)

YANBU - Well done him and congratulations to you on having such a fantastic DH

YANBU OP. Congratulations to your DH.

Many congratulations to your DH - I am not a particularly pro-army type, but reading the descriptions of why people have received the Military Cross is really quite inspiring.

Very well done him. Are you going to tell us which person he is on your link?!

(I am so glad my DH is a secondary school teacher!)

Congratulations to your brave dh and well done you!
