- I didn't know about this before, but the Red Cross under the Geneva Conventions will take letters to prisoners of war from their family. And they actually literally have a form for that. That's been developed and they are named. The Red Cross is actually named in the Geneva Conventions as the organization that's authorized to do this. So I went to my local Red Cross office in San Rafael, California and sure enough, they had that form. And then I called ahead. So they knew I was coming and I was able to write a little letter to John. It's just like sort of a postcard size form. And it says only information of a family nature or something to that. If that's the guideline that they give you. And I just wrote a little note that John we love you and we support you and we have a lawyer for you. So please ask the authorities to allow mama and me and the lawyer to come and visit you. And then I gave it to the lady at the Red Cross and she had it sent through Geneva in Switzerland to be delivered to John in Afghanistan. But the American military I learned later would not allow any of this to get through to John. I actually wrote multiple times to him try to get those letters through under the Geneva Conventions, you know, to have that contact with him from his family but the Americans, when the American government, when it invaded Afghanistan declared and meant they meant what they said, they were not going to follow the Geneva Conventions in Afghanistan. It was really literally true. They said it and they meant it.
