Dear John,
Some young Americans grow up dreaming of joining the military. But serving in
the U.S. armed forces is also a cherished goal for people who weren’t even born
in this country. Refugees, like many other immigrants to the United States, have
enlisted as a way to give back to the country that adopted them. They have
risked their lives for America from the Revolutionary War all the way through to
Iraq and Afghanistan.
As Veterans Day approaches, HIAS is highlighting the service of veterans who
came to the United States as refugees. After finding safety and freedom in a new
country, many willingly went back into harm’s way to protect their new
countrymen. Their service should be an inspiration for all Americans.
