I am happy for you to share our story as i hope that it will inspire others to
write to and support service men and women. I met my husband through writing
every day for 4 months and we have been together for over 2 years now so we have
a lovely happy ending.

I have been incredibly lucky to meet the woman of my dreams through FPP, she is beautiful, sexy, funny and makes my heart skip a beat, my soulmate. I do hope that you get as lucky as I have, dreams can come true. As my subs are now cancelled, we are sailing off into the sunset. So I bid you all farewell.
John, Harrogate
Hi, this is message to say thank you so much for starting the site up. I want to say thanks also for me meeting a really nice chap. We are getting on really well. I just had to drop you a line to tell you about our new "relationship" (he actually calls me his girlfriend). I'm so happy I'll keep you posted if anything develops. Thanks again Debbie.
I thought i would send you a short message to say i am cancelling my subs but have enjoyed my time on the site. Have now met a lovely man through the site and would just like to say thank you to the forces penpals for making this possible. Thanks again Mary
Just thought i'd drop you a line just to say how grateful i am to you for sending out names and addresses of guys i could write to in Iraq. Had a great laugh with them over the last 4 months, most have come back from Iraq now, so looking forward to having my details put on your website. Hope to get chosen. Congrats an a brill website.
I just wanted to say a really big thank you.I had had a really bad few days and couldn't see a way out of it. Well last night went in to chatroom just expecting it to be summer and myself and there were quite a few. We had a brilliant time and i laughed so much i almost wet myself !!!!LOL. It took me out of my depression in a big way.
I have made so many good friends thanks to you and your site and it would be so wrong not to let you know how grateful i am.Thank you again...
Ironic story for your site here too. I use my net connection at work from a technical resources library to chat & email my pen friends. My regular visits to that library to chat got me talking to the librarian, very lovely young lady too, so now as an indirect result of pen pals I have myself a new girlfirend! How ironic is that!
Jodie was feeling quite low as she had just finished with her boyfriend of 3 years and had a 1 year old little boy and didn’t know which way to turn. She didn’t think anyone else would have a relationship with her because she had a little boy. So when her sister told her about Forces penpals she thought she’d give it a try. She got the name and address of a guy in the Army called Jason and based in Germany and after just 3 weeks they met up and hit it off straight away. They got married after just 6 months and now have a baby boy and both Jodie and Jason are extremely happy that Jodie got in touch with Forces Penpals.
Mike is currently serving abroad with the royal navy and, after seeing the Forces Penpals advert in Navy News, he registered with the site as he thought it would be nice to have a lady penpal. Within a couple of weeks, we forwarded the details of several prospective penpals to Mike and he decided to write to a lady called Wendy. Mike and Wendy exchanged letters and found out they had lots in common. They eventually arranged to meet in London and had a wonderful time going to the theatre, visiting museums and other London sightseeing trips. Although they were both very nervous about meeting for the first time, they felt that they would get on well and from the moment that Mike met Wendy off the train with a red rose, this proved to be the case. Since London they have met twice more, are still enjoying each others company and are now planning a trip together to Italy later this year.
