Another Fallen Boy
http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/top_story/story/7495657p-7391781c.html

Feroze Khan said his son never had a negative experience in Iraq being a Muslim in the U.S. Army.

Iraqi children even gravitated toward the always-smiling Khan when they would see his name.

“Kareem called me and told me this kid wouldn’t stop following him around. But he didn’t mind,” said Feroze Khan, who proudly displays a picture in the family’s dining room of the Iraqi child hugging Khan.

Khan would regularly take gifts that were meant for him and share them with the Iraqi children.

4. Thanks for reading...I am
grateful.

This is such a telling article.... young kid, 'ethnic' background....

An American Muslim....'fighting for US freedom'...when the freepers think we need to wipe out all Muslims...and they stay home being chickenhawks.
