My husband has worked with an Iraqi who was a translator for the U.S. troops - as soon as they left he was shot in the head and left for dead...only he didn’t die. He is one of the hardest working guys -
Don’t know if he brought his family which is the only reason I would go back.
he could carry golf clubs for Barry.
Safest job in the world, although I hear there’s lots of mandatory overtime.
The man is a hero and embodies the Spirit we should all aspire to.
Fast track his application. Like tomorrow.
I agree.
This is one of those things Presidents make “the phone call” for. OK, OK, AFTER the 18th hole.
And we all know he has a phone
