Dad with two of Daoud's sisters, Najla and Lema, holding Sameel, Najla's son

Rob called Daoud today, on the 4th of July, just to let him know that we are thinking of he and his family this day. His wife Nadia answered the phone. Daoud has left his job as car salesman and now works for the US Army in Afghanistan! His proficiency with languages and Afghan dialects, along with the fact that he is now an American citizen, makes him a wonderful asset to the army. No matter where he goes in Afghanistan, people think he's from that region. Plus he speaks at least 7 other languages. Most of his work is top secret so when Nadia goes over there with the children (tomorrow!), there's a chance she may not see him.
How proud dad would be of what Daoud has chosen to do - using his unique talents for such an important cause. We will keep Daoud, his family, and Afghanistan in our prayers.
