That the Parliament notes the work of Royal Marines Commando Mick Cairns, who is from Kelty, who has set up the charity, A Veteran's Best Friend, which aims to help ex-service personnel, particularly those who experience PTSD, by training rescue dogs to be companion or assistance dogs for them; believes that this is an excellent initiative and praises the work that has been carried out already to set this up; understands that Mick's own experiences will assist him in this endeavour, and wishes him every success with the charity and his other work.
