This is not AI.

This is not Hollywood.

This is the Iranian National Uprising.

After 47 years of Islamic Oppression, the Lion of Iran roars once again.

Saying goodbye…

[David C. Kniess, Jr. @TheGiftDoc]

In 2004, “Little E”, Gunny Fontecchio’s son, clung to his father’s leg, tearfully watching him depart for Iraq. At just 2 or 3 years old, the memory has faded with time.

Fast forward two decades, Little E, now a college student, joined the Kilo reunion at the Dunham’s residence.
