Welcome to this September 2007 Newsletter from Forces Reunited, the largest UK
Forces Veterans Community on the web, with over 345,000 members!
As usual we have been working very hard on
your behalf and have lot's of new features and interesting things to
tell you about! Read on.......
Update Your Email!
Forces Reunited has recently
launched a new website for the benefit of our members called "UpdateYourEmail.com"
The new site gives you the
facility to contact old friends where you have lost their current
email address.
As long as you've got an old
email address of theirs and they have registered, you simply
enter the old email address into the search form and the site allows
you to send an email to their up to date email address. Once they've
received this email, they can then reply (if they so wish!).
We have made it extremely simple
by pre-adding your details, so all you need to do is log-in and then
search!
If you do not wish to use the
service, and wish to have your details removed, simply log-in,
select 'Edit your Profile' and then click on 'Delete Profile'.
Not only does this site allow
you to contact old friends where the email address that you have for
them is now out of date, but it also allows you to keep your other
community website profiles up to date automatically*!
What are you waiting for? Take a
look now here and don't forget to recommend the site to a few
friends, as the more friends who join the more useful it is for
everyone!
*Where registered.
Regards,
The Forces Reunited Team.

Forces Reunited Petition
A couple of our members have
started a petition to help Falklands Veterans return to pay their
respects.
According to Rab Carrigan, there
are in the region of 8000 veterans that for one reason or another
need to return to the Falkland Islands, to put old ghosts to rest
and/or visit places that they served to protect.
At present there are two option
available for veterans to travel, through the RAF or by civilian
flights. The RAF takes in a one stop flight and this is 20hrs, at a
cost of £1169 + £20 airport tax. The civilian route is to Spain then
Chile then Falklands, taking up to 3 days at a cost of £980.
These flights could be given to
veterans at a vastly reduced price. This would give financial relief
to veterans and the organisations that support them. At present
veterans wanting to afford these flights need to go through a
vetting system and be means tested to get support from The Royal
British legion, SSAFA and other Associations. This, however, puts a
massive strain on the limited resources, especially when these
flights go to the Falkland Islands half empty on a regular basis to
support the military garrison on the Islands.
It is time that the Government
and MOD stepped up and started supporting British Forces Veterans in
their rehabilitation. Not to put red tape and bureaucratic obstacles
in their way.
We're very proud to announce that we have recently added to our list of 76
discount partners, Land Rover and Jaguar! These two prestigious brands are
offering members of the Forces Reunited Discount Card up to 10% off new
vehicles, with Land Rover offering this 10% off of any vehicle in the range!
Since the launch of the first ever 4x4 in 1948, Land Rover has stood for
adventure and excellence – qualities that our company continues to reflect in
everything we do. Today, Defender, Freelander, Discovery and Range Rover have
evolved to satisfy every requirement for urban style, comfort and unbeatable
off-road capability.
Few marques on the road today have a heritage as rich and distinguished as
Jaguar. This distinguished heritage continues with every Jaguar – they stay true
to Lyons original vision of providing drivers with a unique blend of style,
luxury and performance.
