One of my dear friends is Omar who works down at the X-Tra Mile gas station/store.
The funniest, weirdest thing is that he was treated for injuries in his home town in the Wardak
region of Afganistan in 2012 during some warfare...by my son who was there as a combat medic
with the 175th Airborne US Army unit assigned to the area.
Now, he's in America. Loves being here, loves this country and is eternally grateful to my boy for
saving his life. I couldn't be happier for him, nice young man that he is, and couldn't be more proud of my son, committed to saving lives regardless of affiliation.
