hi there i hope you dont mind i posted a copy of this onto metacafe and it has gone brilliantly the comments are excellent and you have been given full credit for it carl
Very moving, a lovely tribut to a brave young man, Kev sadly joined you in heaven in May, another brave lad just doing a job he loved, at least there are no wars in heaven, sleep tight in gods care all of our brave troops who have lost their lives.
I am not British, but I hope that you will take my condolences. I have no words to express my feelings about these brave men. I just hope that this is enough.
I cant believe its been 2 years since that terrible day. I still remember that day it will be something alot of people will carry round with them for the rest of there lives. Your in gods keeping now. I will neva forget you, you touch the hearts of every person you met.
Nothing i can say will give comfort, my heart goes out to you and all who have lost their loved ones. 12 years of serving and tours all over the world and the tears will never stop and I will never know why them and not me. I will remember you all to my last breath
2 Years ago Today. The Boys of the Stafforshire Regiment was doing their Duty in Iraq. Unfortunatly 3 members of a Patrol were engaged by an IED. 2LT Richard Shearer, PTE Leon Spicer and PTE Phillip Hewett will be missed but not forgotten. RIP and God Bless you. *Best wishes to the families of the 3 brave soldiers*
your sorrow is also mine, but your son will live in the hearts and minds of evry people of good will ,all around the world.Who Died for England will live for Ever.
What an amazing and wonderful way to remember Phillip, with a partner serving it brings all to close the atrocities of war and that our forces are indeed very special - Sleep in peace Phillip, you will never be forgotten nor your work done in vain. xxxx
Your touching video brings me to tears whenever I watch it, what else is there to say. Sleep tight young man and please know we are so proud of you and all the british troops. God Bless.
You've made a beautiful tribute to your son. I'm very sorry for your loss. To many family's have lost son and daughters in this war that should not have happened. My deepest sympathy to you and your family and all family's
oranjee,shame on you for tainting such a beautiful and touching tribute and memory, keep yr thoughts to yrself and off this tribute,shame on you, like stgeorge2 says... go home if it bothers you that much.. go home...
what a beautiful tribute, it is obvious you are proud parents. i cry tears for a brave and courageous stranger, we will never forget, NEVER, rest in peace Pte Hewitt. i thank you for your sacrifice.i was lucky my hubby came home, unlike so many, we will never forget.xx
your tribute is beautiful, the words are just so perfect, i cry each time i watch. I'm sure phillip is watching over you and your family, god bless you and take care of each other. Thank you once again for such a touching tribute. xx
Oranjee, Iraqi people die because they cant stand up to somebody like saddam then more fool them. Let me tell you the truth about somethin, Phillip died as a british hero and nothin you will ever say will change that. Iraqi people die because they are unable to unite and stand up for themselves.Why live here if you dislike us so much? Like so many of you people do? One day you'll realise its your own actions that decide your fate not some make believe god, so its you idiots that die in vein!!
Sat here alone watching this. What a memory found my self crying. My condolances to this brother in arms family and that of his friends Killed in Action.
If Iraq means so much to you, why don't you go back and leave our heros alone. My son was killed by an Iraqi policeman in 2005, and he had learned your language and was trying to peace keep, My John was a
hero in my eyes and so was Phillip and no matter what you say, you aint gonna change that. Carol
how sad that you don`t see this young man has my son i see all your people as son`s and daughters mother`s and father`s just shows your not worth getting upset about take care Sue the mother of a young man killed trying to help others
It seems ok for my cousin to be beaten up by british soldiers for no reason who are in an illegal invasion and occupation, but when a punk like Pillock Hewitt dies, you make a memorial out of him...pffff....
Just to let you know my son was sent to Iraq by Mr Blair he didn`t want to go but it was his job but from what you are saying is you hate all soldiers because of what happened to your cousin so why is it i have know need to hate all Iraq people I don`t think we should be in Iraq but you should take that up with Mr Blair instead of having a go at me and my son`s memory i feel very sorry for you so much anger and only a dead soldier to have a go at take care Sue
Well Im not saying all the soldiers are bad, but most of them are, I dont care about Blair, he is leaving office soon and is having sleepless nights over the cash for honours scandal.
fine fair enuf think what u want to think but dont take it out on the memory of young man who gave his life for u to have freedom and most of all one of my mates i think ur sick for doing it think what his family and freinds are going through get a life when u can
Are you suggesting this man along with other coalition soldiers gave their life for the freedom of the Iraqi people? Please have a slightly longer memory, remember who financed saddam and who backed him on his atrocities against Iran in the 80's and against his own people to crush the uprising of the Iraqis in the north and south of Iraq. This is war, millions of Iraqis might die, but there is nothing better then to die for your country, while the coalition troops, they die in vein.
listen mate ur a sad man u need to get a life and leave this family alone u sad man or boy yes thats is it boy u are not prepared to serve queen and country so piss of and leave them b
I would just like you to remember i buried my son who`s job it was to be a soldier as for Blair there is not a lot to say about that man it is the one thing we both agree on take care Sue
What a tribute to be proud of!! It was very touching and i shed a tear for a complete stranger! My heart goes out to the family, as I lost my brother in Iraq a year on Saturday and it hurts still, but watching videos like this. Makes us all so proud!!
phil..where do i start..a great friend and son..i will always remember ur smile and laughs we had as kids..u had the courage to do what u did.all my heart and love goes out to u and your family..always remembered and neva forgot.u will always be there in my heart love emma engley xx

Don't weep for me O' land of the free, When it was my time to fall 'Twas for my country's call 'Twas for the land that I loved That I gave my all, And for the land that I loved I did freely give, And in her freedom and her courage I'll continue to live.
A most touching video, thank-you for allowing us into your precious memories of your dear son. You did us proud Pte Hewitt, sleep well you will be remembered always-from the mum of a soldier.
Sue,Nigel and family..My heart goes out to u all..He will always be a hero in my eyes...Forever gone but neva eva forgotten...the brightest star in a shimmering sky..luv and remember u always phillip luv clare xxxx
