Jose Francisco Solano, a 26-year old Dominican-American soldier serving in the United States Armed Forces, has survived two tours in Iraq and is now describing the horrors of the war zone. Solano, a sergeant, says that he was deployed to Iraq for a nine-month period and was stationed at a hospital near a combat area. He says that he was horrified at what he witnessed. He says he saw soldiers from different nationalities in the hospitals with life-threatening wounds. Solano was met by his family at Las Americas Airport. He says that he is happy to back in his country and that he is even more happy to be out of Iraq without an injury.
Solano is fortunate to tell his story days after the body of another Dominican-American soldier Junior "Bryan" Cedeno Sanchez arrived at the La Romana International Airport last week. Cedeno was one of the countless victims of the war in Iraq. His body would be cremated and returned to his parents that live in the United States.
