Sarah Carr, Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Hereford and South Herefordshire, has pledged to do her bit for the British Armed Forces family.
Sarah Carr met with representatives from The Royal British Legion at the recent Liberal Democrat party conference in Bournemouth where she was presented with a copy of the Legion's manifesto for the next general election.
The manifesto sets out priorities for the next Government to improve conditions for the British Armed Forces past and present and their families. It encourages MPs and parliamentary candidates to "do their bit" for Service Personnel and their families, the bereaved, veterans and dependants.
Kevin Shinkwin, from The Royal British Legion, said, "We're really grateful to Sarah Carr for making the time to meet with us and listen to our concerns. Our message to every candidate standing at the general election is very simple: 'It's time to do your bit'.
"The entire Armed Forces family needs the support of politicians from all parties," he added. "Our manifesto outlines practical ways the next government can help, and we hope all the parties will give it serious consideration".
Sarah Carr said, "I was delighted to meet with The Royal British Legion. They have an important role to play in highlighting the needs of the whole Armed Forces family that is so well represented here in Herefordshire. My father, grandparents and many of my friends and family have been in the Forces. I have pledged to do my bit by supporting The Royal British Legion and backing their general election manifesto www.timetodoyourbit.org.uk .
