How would you thank someone for saving your life? What if they saved your son’s life? Your niece or your nephew? What if they saved the life of your grandchild?Would you welcome them into your life? Would you give them a teapot? Some soap or maybe towels? Would you give them a pot needed for cooking, or perhaps some rice so they may eat? Would you show them how to use a bus if they did not know how? Would you help them shop, or take them to the local farmers’ markets so they have fresh food?
Think about it.
How would you thank them?
How would you thank someone who placed their life on the line for U.S. soldiers as interpreters and support personnel, and hunted by the Taliban or Isil, because they helped an American?

This is what a refugee looks like!
