You, of all FReepers, probably should read this (excellent, IMO) article.

If you did, you might learn that this US Army Captain

is David French, the Conservative, Christian author, who wrote ,

"And you’ll learn more about your own father, and the night I flew into Iraq — desperately praying for my own life and for the opportunity to see my family again — the very night you were born."

to his "brown-skinned", (and, apparently, adopted) 7-year-old daughter.

The "adopted" is a guess on my part, based on the fact that his wife,

Nancy French, is -- obviously -- white, too...

FRiend, you've been around FR long enough to have learned what , "RTFA" means. I recommend most heartily, that you do so. I believe you will be be pleasantly surprised...

Meanwhile, I plan to share this Fine article with friends and family...

I might RTFA is the title had been “A letter to my daughter about the perceived prejudice and realities of living as an American”.

Labeling his daughter only adds another weight to her shoulders.
