Vatican Radio: Serving on the Front Line at Christmas
Britain’s Queen Elizabeth has paid tribute to the country’s armed forces in her traditional Christmas Day message.
The queen who is the symbolic head of the U.K. military spoke of the soldiers killed in Afghanistan.
More than 100 British soldiers have died this year in Afghanistan and 243 have been killed since operations began in October 2001.
As many troops spend this Christmas Day away from loved ones, the Bishop of the British Armed Forces, Richard Moth spoke to us about the importance of God for soldiers serving on the front line.
Listen to it all (just over 1 1/2 minutes).
