It is a tragedy anytime an American is killed in a foreign
country, and it is heartbreak for America and the family of any service man who
loses his life fighting for our freedom or rescuing an American hostage.
However, this time a Navy Seal with Special Operations-- Twenty-eight-year-old Petty Officer 1st
Class Nicolas
D. Checque, of Monroeville, lost his life in this
rescue mission in Afghanistan while securing the freedom of Dr. Dilip Joseph an
American doctor working with Morning Star Development. The United States of
American has lost another son---a hero whose light shines brightly in our
hearts tonight.
The Taliban released the two Afghan workers who were
abducted with Dr. Dilip Joseph about 11 hours before the Doctor was rescued.
The Taliban asked very little for the Afghans who worked with the doctor, but
they did ask for $100,000 for Dr. Joseph.
At this point one would ponder that no Americans are safe in
Afghanistan, because the Taliban is using this for hunting and abducting any
American for financial gain for their terrorist organization.
The people of Afghanistan as I have surmised from my
research are very appreciative of the Morning Star Development because it helps
and teaches the Afghan people so they can take the place of volunteers which
are mostly Americans.
However, I
suspect there are Afghan spies that send information to the Taliban on who,
when and where these American can be located. So the threat is on as far as I
am concerned.
Taliban lost
6 of their group in the rescue of De. Joseph---however, this will not deter
them. I know the Morning Star Development is for helping the Afghan people and
their families in health care,
education, agriculture and small business.
But
Americans need to be on alert that this is a bad time for them in
Afghanistan---and this is my opinion from my research of current events. I know
how dedicated these employees and volunteers are there helping the Afghanistan
people, but it is very dangerous for Americans and for the ones who will have
to rescue them.
My heartaches for this fallen hero he
gave his life to save another American.
