To my friends in Hawai‘i, I think about you guys and hope all is well.
I miss hanging out in Waikiki and going to the movies. Also, I miss the aloha spirit. Iraq is a dangerous country, but it needs a lot of help. I see a lot of improvements that need to be made. The children here need a better future, because one day they’ll be the leaders.
