I only knew Tony a few months, during my second deployment to Afghanistan. His joking and smile always lifted our morale. Thanks for who you were Tony and we will not forget you brother. #GrenadierGuards #Afghanistan #NeverForget #BritishArmy #LestWeForget #Allies

Doesn't seem that long ago, but 18 years ago today, my brother in arms and my friend, Tony Downes, was killed by an IED blast outside Sangin, Afghanistan. Tony was a member of 1st Battalion, Grenadier Guards of the British Army.

March 29, 1973, the last US troops left Vietnam, & the last POWs held by North Vietnam, returned home. On Vietnam Veterans Day, we honor those Americans who served & fought there, & those who didn’t come home. Welcome home & thank you. #VietnamVeteransDay #WelcomeHome2024
