Matt - Only at that moment… and for the first time in my life, I felt that…

My merriness started after I knew the coalition coming to liberate Iraq after half a century with Saddam left me as a semi-human triturated by sadness and swallowed by poorness.

My first decision was to obey my patriotic duty and honor principles towards my country. So I didn't hesitate to accept the first mission with coalition as an interpreter,then translator and supervisor

Militias start spry supported by internal and external hidden hands; my workfellows in their previous stories summarized the circumstances sufficiently, the militias described us traitors, I never give up or withdraw, they threw threaten letters in my way, my car and my house; they murdered my partner and my brother in law. I still zealous and wasn't stay at the same place for two nights and always shout at them ((Damn on you losers... I'm serving my country)).

Once I realized that they are coming close to me. I bought an expensive visa with limited period to a safe country, absconded there, hurry to the US embassy with all confidence and met a citizen lady at the reception.

Lady: Can I help you sir?
Matt: Yes, I'm here to apply on a program for the Iraqis translators who had work with US forces to get immigration to the US.
Lady: (Smiled to me slightingly and a little sarcasm) Do you have any thing approve …..

Matt: Of course (Maim) I have many, here you are; certificate, payment form, authorization doc., payment form again, recomm….
Lady: OK ENOUGH!! .. (Smile again) that's enough, sir, please have a seat.

After one hour of waiting she came back and said ((Ok sir you have to bring a letter from the US commander in Iraq saying that you deserve it)).

Ok then... It's done... Sure I'll get the letter, I work with them for more than 3 years, and sure I'll get the letter. I hurry to the internet café and wrote to my boss but he/she didn't response, I confirm it and wrote again next week and month by month, no response! I could imagine his face when he read my e-mails with the same smile of the reception lady…

A movie tape cross my mind, show Matt at the beginning delivering laundry, portable toilets and garbage bins to the coalition military bases all around south of Iraq. Then Matt accomplishing tens of projects with the US army last of them was the biggest Police Province in south of Iraq, the movie also shows all the times of his scare and all the years of fear of his family which couldn't stop his endurance.

Finally…
