If the young guy you are referring to SMG is the one I saw on the news a couple of days ago in an army rehab center, he too had lost both legs and an arm in a road-side bomb in Afghanistan on Christmas eve, his resolute attitude to make something positive of his life after such an horrific injury is very humbling indeed. My old dad who's in his 70s now but spent ten years of his life in the army, anyway he got together with a few of his mates last year and took thirty squaddies for a day out at Goodwood race-course, they hired a marquee had lunch as much as they could drink, and boy the old man said they could drink, and £100 a piece to bet with. When I went to see my dad a few weeks later he showed me one of the letters a squaddie had sent afterwards, Ill not go into details but it brought a tear to my eye, as you say SMG these are very special young men and women.
