Iraqi War Heroes - Captain Furat Update
Captain Furat, wounded Iraqi war hero in his country's fight against the terrorists, will be treated pro bono at Atlanta's Shepherd Center. Maya Alleruzzo, who was along side him as he fought the terrorist insurgents in Iraq, reports the good news in today's Washington Times.
"Captain Furat", a nom de guerre to protect his real identity, was paralized from the waist down by a bullet in an attack by terrorists as he visited his family this past Christmas Day. The Shepherd Center specializes in treating people with spinal cord injuries.
I reported about Captain Furat a few weeks ago here and here. go back and reread those posts if you didn't do so the first time.
Captain Furat is one of a new generation of Iraqis, trained and supported by our military, that is taking the fight to the enemy, and doing so boldly and without hesitation. Furat, a decorated soldier, won the admiration and respect of Americans and Iraqis alike. My prayers are with him as he continues his fight.
Maya Alleruzzo has been kind enough to send me the front page of today's Washington Times as a pdf file. It's in color an everything, just like the actual paper. You can download it Download file">here.
