Dear editor,
I'm not a monarchist, but I survived the ̨ÍåMMÂãÁÄÊÒ years in the Forces.
This big brouhaha about returning Royal to the names of the Navy and Air Force is about the return of an honour to all sailors and airmen!
(Airmen is correct and includes the feminine gender, along the line of 'human' also being inclusive.)
Bill Ouellette,
