Your "personal" profile page is what reminded me of Haji -- he was at that parade celebrating 2500 years in Iran. I've always wondered what it looked like, but never had the chance to see a photo.
He defected while serving in the Navy - he was in Chicago at Great Lakes Naval Station at the time. He's now unable to go home ("wanted man"), so he has to fly to Turkey to meet his mom who's still in Iran.
