Coops away in Afghanistan

Many of you will be aware that James Cooper is now resident for a while in the snowy wastes of Afghanistan. An essential part of getting through a stint like that is communication with home, but for security reasons serving members are advised not to post their details openly for all to see. If you would like to e-mail or write to Coops, then please do let me know and I can pass on his details. Alternatively he can be reached via the Cub messageboard on the BFPO section. (By the way, his user name is Coops!)

There are many people who believe our lads and lasses shouldn't be in Afghanistan or Iraq but they are, and they have no option. We should all be proud of what they do under extremely difficult and dangerous conditions, and support them whatever your views on the issues. I for one wouldn't want to be there and can't imagime many people would. So please try to get a message through to him. He has already been on the messageboard and had a few replies, but I'm sure he'll never get too many.

For his details log on to the messageboard, BFPO section, and look for Coops.

Or mail me on doug@boroughbridgeafc.com for e-mail and postal addresses.
