Last week, I noted a story about an Iraqi boy nicknamed Steve-O by soldiers from the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment.

Today, Foxnews had this addendum to the story:

When Steve-O met the soldiers in December 2003 he offered them intelligence that helped them get enemy fighters — including his own father — off the street. But the teen’s decision to turn in his father and cooperate with Americans cost him dearly — his mother was killed later as payback.

The U.S. soldiers were now all Steve-O had, and they vowed to bring him to safety in America, but their deployment was coming to an end.

Once back in Colorado the soldiers contacted the boy’s uncle asking him to sign paperwork allowing Steve-O to travel to America, but that is just one step in an arduous process that isn't over yet.

It looks like he will be brought over here within a few weeks to treat an eye injury.

A trust fund has been set up to assist this young man begin his new life in the United States. Donations may be sent to:
