Captain Tom Moore, what a story this is. On many levels Tom is an inspiration, a hero for his country, national fundraiser and family man. He embodies the fighting spirit of a nation under siege, this time a threat that none of us can see. Tom is keenly aware that just like any battle the physical and mental effects may last some time. His message of home struck a chord with me and millions of others, his words are simple, keep holding on and have hope in your hearts. There are brighter days to come. Hold on, keep holding on, we will find a way through this. Don’t give up hope, there is always a tomorrow. Thank you Tom for your words of inspiration:
