Thanks! Good info. Nice to know these men are still appreciated.

But I don't consider myself out of date when I am asking. I would only consider myself out of date if I am proclaiming.

I had met with a UK lady named Lillian Wong, who works the Africa Desk in the UK. This was in Luanda. She mentioned that some Gurkhas were soon to arrive to take her over to the embassy. In that conversation she told me about their plight and that the program would be ending. That's why I asked when I saw the subject header here. The two I met were very gentlemanly soldiers and it was nice to finally meet some from this legendary caste of soldier.
