Facing year upon year of shops banning the sale of poppies, employers banning the wearing of them, muslim protests and poppy burning, The OOA has launched the RBL Poppy Day and we are going to have it! campaign on its website, and on a facebook connect group.
Help for Heroes (H4H), a British Armed Forces charity is coming under some flak from an ever growing facebook page, detailing their refusal to aid anyone pre 9/11.
Find out more on the “Help for Heroes are a ‘fashionable’ charity!” page of the Oath of Allegiance (TheOOA) website.
Lee Mackie, the Mother of Jason Mackie, a Royal Marine who was killed in Afghanistan in 2009 is supporting a campaign to locate a Memorial Bell on the repatriation route between RAF Brize Norton and the John Radcliff Hospital in Oxford.
The proposal would see the installation of a 31”, 644lb bell that would toll to signal the approaching cortège.
Representatives from the group that was responsible for the design and construction of the Memorial Garden which include the Royal British Legion visited Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London last week to see and hear for themselves what the bell would look and sound like.
Mike Henderson, the Chairman of Oxfordshire Royal British Legion described it as a “Call for action” stating: “We want to raise money ourselves to purchase the bell and work with the community to raise the funds needed during the coming months. The proposal to install a Memorial Bell will ensure repatriations in Oxfordshire are dignified.”
Steve Radband, whose son is currently serving in Afghanistan and who visited Whitechapel Bell Foundry said: “We listened to a number of bells during our visit and as soon as I heard the bell we’ve selected I knew it was the right one. We just want to raise the money as soon as possible now.”
The proposal is to install the bell in a permanent tower at a cost of £18,000.

The Oath of Allegiance (The OOA) a few days ago launched a new version of their website at http://oathofallegiance.org
For anyone who is unfamiliar with The OOA, it’s a military veteran community and social network aimed at tackling government underfunding in its military operations and ignorance in providing for British Armed Forces veterans. It also aims to raise awareness for British Military charities.
Some people think I do some crazy things, but I have never been so keen on knitting – check out what this lady is up to for raising funds for her nephews charity, The William Aldridge Foundation, and other Armed Forces Charities. She’s going for The World Record for a Knitted Union Jack:

Here is a piece of the National Geographic article:
“Live and dead dogs and cats are being used as shark bait by amateur fishers on the French-controlled island of Réunion, according to animal-welfare organizations and local authorities.
The small volcanic island off Africa’s east coast is bursting with stray dogs—upward of 150,000, says Reha Hutin, president of the Paris-based Fondation 30 Millions d’Amis (the Thirty Million Friends Foundation).
Hutin sent a film crew to Réunion this summer to obtain proof that live animals were being used as shark bait. The goal was to expose the practice on the animal rights group’s weekly television show.
It didn’t take long for the film crew to find three separate cases, she said.
A videotape and photographs show the dogs with multiple hooks sunk deep into their paws and snouts.”
Also, here’s a page that some friends passed along for everyone that cares about animal cruelty:
