“A civil war in his homeland forced him to flee to a U.N. refugee camp
in Ethiopia, where he waited for a sponsor to support him in the
United States.”

Sounds like one of “The Lost Boys” that have been brought here by
various charities.
They were profiled with a couple of documentary specials on NBC DateLine
before and one soon after 9-11.

One of my sisters worked with those boys. It does indeed sound like “Charles” may be one. Whoever he is, he has honored himself and his family by his sacrifice for his and our country! I remember how proud my immigrant grandfather was of his service to America in France during WWI.
