We lived across the street from the special forces barracks . We woke up that day on the sound of artillary and guns . What happened is the kuwaiti soldiers fled to nearby apartement buildings for cover , and our apartement building was one of them . Four of them knocked on out door , and we asked them " what is going on ? " , they replied " the iraqis are slaughtering us , we were wondering if you had any food ?" so my mother gave them apples and a glass of water , as that is what we had at the time . Outside was hell . The kuwaiti soldiers were getting killed outside , and one of the soldiers got shot very badly , and his comrades dragged him to save him . After that morning , I remember nothing . I have no recollection of how I got to syria , which I was told I was very close to being shot by an iraqi soldier at a checkpoint for asking my father if this "soldier" was "good or evil" . That was one of the worst years of my life to be honest with you .

I remember seeing some of the devastation right after I return back to Kuwait one year after the liberation, I was 7 back then. Thank you man for the post.
