MY FRIENDS BEFORE THE BATTLE AT IRAQ! IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT THEY WILL RECEIVE THE SAME BENEFITS AND EVEN THE UK RESIDENCE AND EVENTUALLY THE CITIZENSHIP. IT HAS BEEN A LONG STRUGGLE FOR OUR GURKHA ANCESTORS AND LOT OF SACRIFICES MADE BY THEM SO THAT WE THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF "BRAVEST OF THE BRAVES" HAS BETTER LIFE THAN THEM. MY SALUTE TO ALL THE GURKHAS, PAST AND PRESENT. JAI GURKHAS. PROUD OF BEING GURKHA BLOODLINE.
