Fahad

I just want to share with you guys what an amazing guy my brother was. When he passed away (two months ago), I didn't just lose a brother. Kuwait lost a son.

Fahad was forgiving, generous, and honorable.

When Kuwait was invaded by Iraq in 1990, Fahad who'd just graduated from one of the top highschools in the U.S. said "Someone from the Al-Gharabally's had to serve their country". He volunteered, and went on the Al-Gharabally's behalf, and was willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice.

In the more recent war in Iraq, Fahad volunteered again with the Army Rangers (these guys are the front line in the U.S. armed forces, the most powerful fighters in the world). Fahad served a total of 4 tours of duty.

When a relative was about to be imprisoned overseas, he offered to go prison on their behalf, but another solution was found. When another relative needed a kidney transplant, Fahad offered to give her his kidney, but she said he was too young to give up his health for an old lady.

Fahad was a hero, and heroes live forever!
