Monday 11th august A British soldier killed when a suicide bomber rammed a car into his convoy in
Kabul was named as Signaller Wayne Bland.
"Wayne was a much-loved son, grandson, brother and uncle who served his country with distinction and
sadly paid the ultimate price. He was our true hero."
Signaller Bland, a bachelor with no children, was a passionate footballer and fan, supporting Leeds,
where he lived and had grown up.
The 21-year-old, from Leeds, died and two soldiers from his 16 Signal Regiment were wounded during
the attack on the eastern outskirts of the capital on Monday afternoon. Afghan officials said three
civilians were killed and 12 injured.
Signaller Bland's Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Justin Hodges, said: "Signaller Wayne Bland
was a superb soldier, full of character and a highly popular member of 16 Signal Regiment.
"His loss is all the more poignant for his family who were expecting him home on leave in the next
few weeks. Wayne will be laid to rest on the 28th

A True Soldier is tough indeed
standing tall and strong when there is a need
A Soldier also feels sadness, pain, and sorrow
Sometimes not looking forward to the trials of tomorrow
When a Soldier is wounded in battle
the nerves of his buddies it does rattle
When news reaches friends and family at home
how their worries and minds begin to roam
A wounded Soldier feels inadequate at best
stopping him from much needed healing rest
A wounded Soldiers wonders will he ever be alright,
trusting in God that he'll make it through the night.
When a Soldier is wounded far beyond repair
the loss and pain felt can not compare
The Cost of a Soldier is set so very high
they assure our freedom will always apply
To stand beside a Soldier and walk through his pain
will humble a civilian, no longer to complain
Love, patience, trust and hope is what a Soldier needs
to get them through some very treacherous deeds
Dear Lord please watch over our Military today
as they work to keep our freedom everyday
For the wounded and the families of Soldiers lost
Please Bless them with abundant love, for we know not the cost.
The Cost of a Soldier is set so very high
our support for them we should never deny
GOD BLESS YOU WAYNE A TRUE HERO {R}{I}{P}

❤ I MISS YOU ❤
I know how much I miss you
I feel an emptiness inside
It shows in everything I do
It's something I can't hide.
❤
I simply miss you being there
Life seems dull and flat
Without you nothings quite the same
I can't say more than that.
❤
But one day we will meet again
I know that this is true
But everyday until then
I know I'll just be missing you.
❤

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
To sweet eternity.
ღ ⋱♥⋰ ღ
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We are all meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay.
ღ ⋱♥⋰ ღ
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know,
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
ღ ⋱♥⋰ ღ
But when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.

♥It shouldn't have been
you,♥
To everyone, that's
clear,♥
and I hate living with
the fact,♥
That my angle's not
here.♥
So much time has gone
by♥,
Without seeing your
face,♥
Your cheeky smile,
Sparkling eyes♥
and your warm, loving
embrace.♥
But the sky glitters
bright,♥
and the stars always
shine,♥
I hope I'm in your
thoughts,♥
Because your always in
mine.♥
So this is for you,♥
The brightest star in
the sky.♥
I will love you more and
more,♥
With each day that goes
by.♥
the winds blow for you
