Northern Ireland owes a debt of gratitude to Ulster Defence Regiment, which stood up against terrorism

Men from all over our beloved Northern Ireland came together to stand up against terrorism and protect society from the barbaric and inhumane campaign of violence.

They were joined years later by many gallant and stoic women, forming our Greenfinches.

Today I remember and honour the sacrifice of our bravest heroes, and the betrayal of same by successive spineless governments.

Some gave some; some gave all.

The people of Northern Ireland owe a huge debt of gratitude to the Ulster Defence Regiment CGC. Lest we forget.
