I AM currently serving in Kuwait with the 3rd Regiment Royal Horse Artillery.

I was featured in your paper on February 19, along with other local lads from the Regiment.

I would like to state to anyone reading this that, if they see protesters on the streets, then go up to them and shake their hand to congratulate them on having the freedom to protest. Because the Iraqi people do not have that kind of freedom.

I totally agree with myself, and the other British forces, being deployed here, despite what people have said in the Press. Also, as I am currently single, I would appreciate it if any single females would like to write to me out here. Hopefully I look forward to a reply.
