Code Name: Johnny Walker: the Extraordinary Story of the Iraqi Who Risked Everything to Fight With the U.S. Navy Seals
“It is a refuge and a dream, a place of freedom and respite, responsibility and wonder. To have arrived here, after the journey I took, after the bombs and gunfire and killings, the beheadings and kidnappings, the dangers, after everything that has happened in my life: the idea that I am free now, and the knowledge of everything it means, fills me with gratitude. I am thankful for every moment and every breath. I am grateful to the SEALs who risked their lives for my family, grateful for the sac...rifices of other servicemen and -women, grateful to my neighbors and new friends who have welcomed me to this land of large dreams and open skies.
Every day, I live a dream. My dream. But unlike most, my dream began amid a nightmare—a murderous war in Iraq that destroyed not only the lives of many of my friends and relatives, but an entire country and culture. That destruction began long before the war I fought in. Long before that conflict began, Iraq was a broken country, a place ruled more by fear than law, a place where making a decent living was for many an impossible dream.MoreLess
