Hard times ahead as troops get ready to go

18 April 2005
EARLY next month, Corporal Matthew Paas will leave Darwin to join his mates in Iraq. It's what he's trained for, but the 28-year-old admits it will be difficult leaving behind his wife and six-week-old daughter, Emma.

Once again Australians are entering harms way to help create a better future for others, like they have done so many times in the past.
God bless them and pray for a speedy and safe return!
