February is a month where we celebrate love! Worldwide, lovers & friends around the world celebrate their love on the 14th, where in Kuwait, people celebrate National Day on the 25th and the Liberation Day on the 26th. I would like to take this oppertunity to salute all lovers in the world who sacrifay their life for someone’s else happiness, or to build a country or to free it! Those are hidden soldiers, soldiers of love.
