After the liberation of Kuwait by coalition forces in 1991, the Kuwaitis have been grateful and gracious hosts. Commander Torrens of the US base on Kuwait tries to continue this friendly relationship, and makes a new friend in the process. A short memoir about kindness, religion, and a shared ethos.

Articles, stories, and other compositions in this archive were written by participants in the Mighty Pen Project. The program, developed by author David L. Robbins, and in partnership with Virginia Commonwealth University and the Virginia War Memorial in Richmond, Virginia, offers veterans and their family members a customized twelve-week writing class, free of charge. The program encourages, supports, and assists participants in sharing their stories and experiences of military experience so both writer and audience may benefit.
