The Average British Soldier

"Just as with the generations of young people before him, he is paying the price for our freedom.

He is the latest in the long thin line of British fighting men that have kept the country free for hundreds of years.

He asks for nothing from us except our respect, friendship and understanding.

We may not like what he does but sometimes he doesn't like it either - he just has it to do."

Take time today to think about him.
