From Josh Wineera in Iraq

Dear fellow Gunners,
A few days ago I received your very kind email which you sent through the New Zealand Defence Force website for ANZAC 2008. I want to tell you how great it was to receive your message of support and to know that the members of the Royal New Zealand Artillery Association appreciates the work of its soldiers, and especially its Gunners!
-----I actually received a number of emails, some even from high-school students, and that has certainly boosted my morale. Morale is not low, in fact it is high but to receive such sincere messages from home always lifts you a little bit more.
-----Iraq is a very interesting and challenging environment. Being in a theatre of operations that has the attenion of the World's Superpower is a unique experience. Perhaps I may get the opportunity to share that experience with you all when I get back.
-----Please pass on my regards to the fellow Gunners at the Association, and once again, thank you very much for taking the time to send your message.

Kind regards & Ubique

Josh Wineera
