The Man Behind SIC Iraq
by SIC Iraq is made up of many people but this is a story of the founder and owner of this company.
When I read this for the first time I found myself in that dark place also, hearing the cries of the lost souls he has encountered, but the difference between him and me is that he has experienced these things for real as I only see them through his eyes. The pictures he has kept deep in his heart I am afraid will never be erased, but the reasons why he stays in this terrible land, for him, far out weigh the memories that will live forever embedded within his heart, mind, body and soul.
Dino is a special man indeed. One of those people we all wish we could be. One of those hero’s who I do not want to just exist but whom I want the world to see that what he is doing is a good thing. A man that is needed for all of us, not only for Americans but for all nations under God.
For now Dino still resides in this place called war and fights on a daily basis to protect all who need his help. I commend you Dino for doing what most would never even consider. For leaving your home, your children and the ones you love and also the ones who love you. You have a heart of gold and to me you are a hero.
SIC Iraq I am sure under your command will flourish and you will remain in this place called war until you feel your job has been done. I am not sure how many times you have been thanked for your service but as an American and as a Mother I would like to give to you my heart felt thanks for your service and your unselfishness. You are a true warrior like no other. You and your entire crew deserve our daily prayers for your safety and for the safety of those you protect.
I end this article with a completely different view of what is happening in the Middle east. I now believe we are needed in that horrible place. With people like Dino and my son and all the other men and woman who fight the war on terror and also for freedom. I thank you for opening my eyes to the real Iraq.
Without SIC and other companies such as Dino’s Iraq and the rest of the world who needs protection would not be the same.
All of the images used in this articles were given to me by Dino. They are photos he has taken on his travels in Iraq.

I hope your son to return home safe even if i am completely opposite about your thoughts. America and any other nations just supports its interests anywhere in the world. Also US actions there many times feed terror, you have to face it. I know things like that are not that simple and every person should think of that. I am with the side of every person who may lost his life from both sides for the proffit of others.

My grandsons who have been in and out of this war for five years do not talk of their experiences either. I know the things they have experienced will always be with them. They went in as young boys and their lives will never be the same.I hope they are receiving help offered and I applaud those who are helping.
