Actress wants to lend her support to soldiers

Tuesday, 23 December 2008

Gemma Atkinson is keen to go to war-torn Iraq and Afghanistan.

The glamour model thinks she could help boost morale.

‘If my being there helped cheer up one soldier it would be worthwhile,' she says.

‘My mother’s terrified of the prospect of me going out their but it’s a real possibility and I’d love to see it happen.

'It’s only a small gesture but I’d like to think I’ll be doing my bit for my country.’
 
Gemma, 24, says the brave soldiers make her proud to be British.
 
‘They’re true heroes and making such sacrifices, away from their loved ones and friends, not knowing when they might next see them,’ she tells the News Of The World. ‘It’s very humbling.

'We must all take time out to remember them. They’re doing such a fantastic job.’

An why on earth would you think that by flashing your flesh to married service men whose wives are waiting for them back home would be a duty to the country. If you want to make a difference donate your modelling wages to the yellow ribbon foundation
