For JJ and the team
it really is a dream,
to join the European rally
For Help The Hero's charity.
Team Cobra is there name
raising money is there game.
to follow in the footsteps,
of a generation that is now unknown,
to help our fallen hero's that
have to be flown home.
For there are no others
like this band of brothers.
That keeps this nation our own.
love you john xxxx

Great way to remember those gone, those involved and those yet to become involved in the worlds conflicts. Admirable contribution from "The Team". We would like to wish you guys all the very best and every success; from semi-rural Tahmoor, New South Wales, SW of Sydney. Will be honoured to sponsor.

Good work guys. Great cause.
Looking forward to the big event. I will be updating the travel blog on a daily basis as we progress through the 10 day expedition. It will give the chance for friends, family and sponsors to follow our progress.
Thanks to everyone who supports us!!
Hi John and everyone involved,

Best wishes to all.

Thank you for this opportunity to do something for "Help 4 Heros" John
I am so happy to be a part of the team.
My grandfather landed on the beaches in 1944 I will be treading in his footsteps for a worthy cause
DIG DEEP everyone even a couple of quid goes a long way to helping
We met as soul mates on Parris Island
We left as inmates from an asylum
And we were sharp, as sharp as knives
And we were so gung ho to lay down our lives
We came in spastic like tameless horses
We left in plastic as numbered corpses
And we learned fast to travel light
Our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight
We had no home front, we had no soft soap
They sent us Playboy, they gave us Bob Hope
We dug in deep and shot on sight
And prayed to Jesus Christ with all our might
We had no cameras to shoot the landscape
We passed the hash pipe and played our Doors tapes
And it was dark, so dark at night
And we held on to each other
Like brother to brother
We promised our mothers we'd write
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
Remember Charlie, remember Baker
They left their childhood on every acre
And who was wrong? And who was right?
It didn't matter in the thick of the fight
We held the day in the palm of our hand
They ruled the night, and the night
Seemed to last as long as six weeks...
...On Parris Island
We held the coastline, they held the highlands
And they were sharp, as sharp as knives
They heard the hum of our motors
They counted the rotors
And waited for us to arrive
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together

Dad, Nick, Nobby, & Mo-Rice............. Have fun, drink a beer or two for me (except the driver), keep me updated, make sure to give Maurice plenty of Japanese food (it's his favourite), Rob likes if you count his daily calories for him as he's a bit of a nonce, and Nick, do me a favour and try and keep my Dad chirpy, as I'm not sure what his road rage is like.
If for any reason you feel the need to reenact some of the battles that took place along the way, please try to do so in France as some of them need a good spanking (sorry Nick!).
One more tip: don't let Maurice loose in Holland....
God Speed,
Simmo
