He was a soft-spoken man, deeply Christian - and he recounted a tale of being terrorized by the military and escaping on a rickety boat much like this story. These are hard stories to hear - but the gratitude and appreciation this chap had for the United States was profound. I'd completely forgotten this until this moment.

I hope that, although Haiti has dropped off the popular media's radar, people don't forget about this wonderful island nation. Thanks for sharing.
