IT’S good to hear of the project at Llanfrechfa Grange for veterans.

The Assembly announced the scheme yesterday which will see homes built on the site for veterans and their families.

The idea came about after a report revealed that veterans can often find it difficult to adapt to civilian life and one of their main concerns was finding housing.

Although no real detail of how big this project will be has yet been revealed it is understood to be substantial and will be the first scheme of its kind in Wales.

This country sometimes falls short in the way it deals with veterans.

Many would go as far to say they are treated like second class citizens.

Which is why this scheme goes some way to making up for that.

With all that is going on in Afghanistan, soldiers are the forefront of all our minds right now.

They deserve only the very best from the country that they put their lives on the line for.
