WHEN politicians pay tribute to dead soldiers, and their families, who fought bravely in the
theatre of War, their tributes are often looked on skeptically - or seen as hollow.
But when
stars pay tribute to the fallen, it gets everybody's attention.
Former Eastenders actor Ross Kemp left a heartfelt tribute on the Associated Northcliffe Digital's national memorials site Lasting Tribute writing this: ""Having been out to Afghanistan and seen what you are experiencing, I can only say how proud I am. I was always pretty proud of our armed forces but I am incredibly proud now. We thank you all and appreciate everything you are doing on a daily basis."
Kemp, who is a roving foreign journalist has done documentaries on Afghanistan, and searching for modern day pirates, as well as his Ross Kemp on
Gangs series.
