On January 26, 2004, 34 year old Corporal Allan Klein from Roseville, Michigan died in the helicopter crash in Iraq that killed 31 Americans. As his mother planned the lunchen for family and friends after his funeral she contacted a banquet hall owner, Louie Ishmail. It turned out that Mr. Ishmail had come to the United States in 1979 from Baghdad. He had grown up in Mosul after his family was forced from their village in northern Iraq. When he found out that Mrs. Klein's son died in Iraq, he donated the use of his hall and provided all of the food and drinks free of charge. He considered this a small token of his gratitude for the sacrifice that this family experienced to bring freedom to his homeland. I doubt very much that Michael Moore will include this amazing story in any of his "documentaries."
