Every time I see videos of the invasion, my eyes drop a tear, and Blood gets to boil..
These are the days I will never ever forget..
People who were living in Kuwait in the invasion feels it well..
Memories that you really dont want to remember, it had changed my family’s live forever. No one should ever go through this. Unfortunately worse is still happening all over the world.
Thank you Mark for this post. I cannot comprehend The fact that Iraq intended to erase Kuwait from the international map.
Thanks for putting these up, Mark. The fact that you commemorate a date that too many people that visit this blog have forgotten is a true testament to the roots that you’ve laid in Kuwait. Cheers.
Thank you very much Mark, for sharing these with us
Mark, if I remember correctly… you even had a post about ‘The Last Flight to Kuwait’ – the short about a BA flight that landed in Kuwait when the war began and rumored to have some MI5 agents.
Good memory, I did but I checked the old post and I wasn’t linking to a video, just talking about it. (I had watched it on tv or something)
There also this 4 part movie called “House of Saddam” by HBO it’s such a great movie !
