Dear Khizr And Donald  Derek Hunter  Posted: Aug 04, 2016

Dear Khizr And Donald
 
This is an open letter to both Khizr Khan and Donald Trump. Since I have much to say to each of you before I say something to both of you, I’m going to break this up into two letters before signing off to both of you.
Dear Khizr,
I don’t care anymore.
Not about your son, Humayun, who died a hero serving his country. I, and all Americans, are grateful for his sacrifice. That he volunteered to serve our country is a testament to his character, and you played a role in raising him to be the man he was.
This is going to sound cold, but it needs to be said: You have suffered the loss of your son, something most of us can’t imagine. But he is the one who sacrificed, not you.
You didn’t force Humayun to enlist. He wasn’t drafted; he chose to sign up. You couldn’t stop him if you wanted to. He gave his life protecting his fellow soldiers. There is no doubt he died a hero. I find it disturbing you would use his sacrifice and your grief to advance an open-borders agenda.
