Letter: Help for forgotten soldiers
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.MAY I congratulate you on "Coming home" (Review, 7 June) about life after the Falklands war which highlighted the disgraceful way in which members of the armed forces are discarded after they have reached their "sell-by date". There is, however, a network of people (often ex- service personnel) who care and will help as much as they can with our problems. The South Atlantic Medal Association (01495 227577) supports comrades of the action in 1982 by providing practical help such as advice on pension and disability/incapacity schemes and also vital emotional support. Combat Stress (0181-543 6333) also supports psychologically injured servicemen or women, along with the different service benevolent trusts. There is no need to suffer on your own.
