(Marcelo Cesena)
I have a friend whose life was on the dangerous tracks. He was an alcoholic at the age of 21, doing drugs etc. But his real problem he was unhappy with himself and his life. Through the support of some special friends his life completely turned around. He got clean and joined the Navy and within weeks of finishing basic training he was sent to Iraq. His friends and family supported him with letters and gifts. This piece was inspired by the poignant letters, and stories of his experiences and as well those of the young men involved on this sea crossing to Iraq.
