Parents' pride as centre opens

Nov 21 2009

A drop-in centre for veterans set up by the parents of a hero soldier killed in Afghanistan has been officially opened.

Bob and Jem Wright of Dalkeith near Edinburgh set up The Mark Wright Project, which gained charity status in July this year, to help ex-service personnel.

Their son Corporal Wright, 27, a paratrooper with the 3rd Battalion, Parachute Regiment, which was stationed in Helmand province, died in September 2006.
