We went to see Saad, a new refugee to America from Iraq, he worked for the U.S. Embassy there during the war and was recently targeted by religious extremists. He is without any family or resources, he lost everything there when he fled to a rrefugee camp to save his life.

I think there is nothing lonelier than to be a  refugee in a foreign land. Maria found an old linen map of Arabia, we brought it Saad yesterday when we also brought some things for his new apartment, which the Army Of Good helped him get last week.

Saad was deeply moved by the linen map, he dropped to his knees and showed Maria each of the countries he recognized. He speaks no English and we speak no Arabic but the conversation he had with us was very powerful.

Come and see.
