Ce sujet est naturellement au cœur de l’objectif général des rencontres et de sa devise « Civils et militaires : bâtir un ciel plus sûr ». Au sein de nos sociétés contemporaines dont une des caractéristiques essentielles est la liberté et la mobilité des individus, les attentats du 11 septembre sont venus rappeler la vulnérabilité des réseaux de transports aériens. La sûreté des transports aériens représente donc un enjeu symbolique de premier ordre, compte tenu de la forte visibilité des catastrophes aériennes et de leur impact psychologique.

  • Food for Heroes - What Would You Feed Your Hero? the Official Help for Heroes Cook Book Submitted By: Accent Press Wednesday, 20 May 2009
    Food for Heroes - What Would You Feed Your Hero? The Official Help for Heroes Cook Book Submitted by: Accent Press Wednesday, 20 May 2009 WHAT would you feed your hero? It’s the ultimate dinner-party quiz question and for Prime Minister Gordon Brown it would be a "Chequers Steak Pie” served to Scottish athlete Eric “Chariots of Fire” Liddell. But TV presenter Fern Britton would serve a warm and tasty gooseberry crumble to all the injured servicemen and women and the people who help them get their lives back on track. The Prime Minister and his political rival David Cameron join a list of more than 80 celebrities, politicians, celebrity chefs, sporting heroes, war veterans and serving military personnel to reveal the food they would serve up to their personal heroes in new charity cookbook Food For Heroes (http://www.foodforheroes.co.uk). After witnessing the plight of wounded soldiers in Iraq, Squadron Leader Jon Pullen returned from his tour of duty in Basra and decided he wanted to help servicemen and women like them. He founded an enthusiastic team of service people who set about asking more than 100 celebrities and servicemen and women what would you feed your hero? Published by independent publisher Accent Press Ltd (http://www.accentpress.co.uk) to coincide with the first Armed Forces Day on June 27, 2009,Food For Heroes (http://www.foodforheroes.co.uk) is the cookery book equivalent of the X Factor chart-topping single Hero. All profits from the book are being donated to the Help for Heroes (http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk) charity set up to help wounded military personnel.
