PAUL & ANARE DRAIVA ( OUR HERO'S )
were friends doing a job they both loved trying to make this world a safer place for everyone.
PLEASE CAN YOU VISIT ANARE'S SITE AS HE HAS NO FAMILY OVER HERE
1 ROYAL IRISH REGIMENT
Paul thought the world of his family, his mum Violet, dad Michael , brother Simon, sisters Jackie &
Sue and his nieces.
Paul lived his dream of wanting to be in the Army, and joined the Royal Irish Regiment. He loved
army life and thought he was really helping to make a difference and volunteered to go to
Afghanistan to help the people there, he never thought of the danger he was putting himself in. Paul
was that type of person always thinking of other people first.
Paul was seriously injured on Friday 1st september in a mortar attack on the base at Musa Qala in
the Helmand province, his friend Dee who was with him was killed in the attack. Paul was flown to
Oman hospital with serious head and arm injuries. Pauls mum and stepdad was flown out to be with
him. Paul fought so hard to stay with us, but unfortunately Pauls wounds were so severe he couldnt
be stabalised. Paul sadly passed away on Wednesday 6th September 2006 which has devastated his
family and friends but they are very proud of Paul he is their hero.
His commanding officer Lt-col Michael Mcgovern said L/cpl Muirhead was an experienced soldier who
had served on OP Telic 1, the liberation of Iraq, in Nothern Ireland,and most recently a six month
tour of Baghdad and Southern Iraq .
L/cpl Muirhead was a calm , confident and determined member of the patrols platoon. A quiet exterior
belied a character who was renowned for looking after the younger less experienced soldiers.He was
widely respected across the Battalion.
The battalion is deeply saddened at the loss of two soldiers in this incident, both killed as a
result of enemy action .Our thoughts and prayers are of course with their families and friends at
this terrible time.
Col Mcgovern said he had spoken to troops in Afghanistan and their moral remained high . They were
determined to " get on with the job " and ensure that the loss of their friends and comrades would
not be in vain.
Paul you were a very special loving son brother uncle and friend.
We just want to say how much we all love and miss you , and the pain of losing you hurts so bad, we
will always be thinking of you and you are always in our hearts. Paul you have made us so proud, we
miss and love you so much. xxxxxxxx
PAUL OUR MUCH LOVED SON ,BROTHER AND UNCLE IS MISSED SO MUCH THERE IS NOT THE WORDS TO EXPLAIN HOW
WE FEEL.
OUR FAMILY ARE VERY GREATFUL TO EVERYONE WHO HAS LEFT MESSAGES ON PAULS SITE. I JUST WANT TO
THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR KINDNESS.
VIOLET (PAULS MUM )

"I Can't Cry Hard Enough" by The Williams Brothers.
I'm gonna live my life
Like every day's the last
Without a simple goodbye
It all goes by so fast.
And now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now.
Gonna open my eyes
And see for the first time
I've let go of you like
A child letting go of his kite.
There it goes
Up in the sky
There it goes
Beyond the clouds
For no reason why.
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now.
Gonna look back in vain
And see you standing there
When all that remains
Is just an empty chair.
And now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now.
There it goes
Up in the sky
There it goes
Beyond the clouds
For no reason why.
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now.

Candles in the Night
Candles flame in darkness,
Flicker, steadily glow,
Bringing light from shadows
And help to soothe me so.
My son, like the candles,
Gave my life true light,
I use the candle's beacon
To connect us in the night.
As I light the candles,
My wish and my request
Is that he'll see my signal
And know my love's expressed.
As his light joins my lights,
Our worlds touch and flame.
As I snuff out the candles,
I softly say his name.
By Genesse Bourdeau Gentry

Missing You
I just can't believe it
The sun still sets and rises.
The moon and stars still shine.
The flowers still bloom,
The birds still sing.
I expected a change in everything...
I just can't believe it.
It still gets dark and light.
The ocean still has waves,
The rain still rains,
The wind still blows.
Is it because they do not know?
I just can't believe it.
I thought the world would stop,
When in the house I found
An empty chair,
A missing smile.
I thought it would stop
For just a while.
I just can't believe it....

~~ The Ascending ~~
(by Kahlil Gibran)
I have passed a mountain peak and my soul is soaring in the
Firmament of complete and unbound freedom;
I am far, far away, my companions, and the clouds are
Hiding the hills from my eyes.
The valleys are becoming flooded with an ocean of silence, and the
Hands of oblivion are engulfing the roads and the houses;
The prairies and fields are disappearing behind a white specter
That looks like the spring cloud, yellow as the candlelight
And red as the twilight.
The songs of the waves and the humans of the streams
Are scattered, and the voices of the throngs reduced to silence;
And I can hear naught but the music of Eternity
In exact harmony with the spirit's desires.
I am cloaked in full whiteness;
I am in comfort; I am in peace.
