Council Chair backs soldiers campaign
The Chair of Carmarthenshire County Council is backing a charity to help soldiers who have served in Afghanistan and their families.
Cllr Siân Thomas has pledged her support for the Welsh Guards Afghanistan Appeal which is promoting a charity single by baritone Mark Llewelyn Evans, Men of Harlech/Tell My Father, sung with the Band of the Welsh Guards.
Cllr. Thomas said: “We do not do enough after care for our brave armed forces. I have a relative married to an Afghan war hero who came home in pieces, not physically but mentally, and because there were no outward signs of injury, not many people understood the inner trauma he faced.
“We need to do more for our brave. This year as Chair I have openly showed my support for Armed Forces Week, joining the flag raising event in Llanelli, and am also giving my support to the Help for Heroes fund.”
Further information on the single Men of Harlech/Tell My Father can be found on Mark’s website www.markllewelynevans.co.uk
