Cadet Colonel Adnan Barqawi

One of the speakers at the convention was this young man,Cadet Colonel Adnan Barqawi, Former Regimental Commander. Virginia Tech Corps Cadet. He came to this country 4 years ago. He is a Palestinian born in Kuwait. On April 17, 2009 he was sworn in as as U.S. Citizen. He is going to be a teacher in the mississippi Delta region.

 

This is just a short take on his speech - he spoke from the heart and had the crowd on their feet 3 time. He was fantastic and had a message that I wish all of the U.S. could hear.
