Greta Van Susteren, host of MSNBC For the Record, traveled over Spring Break.<\/p>\n
Like millions of other Americans, she took a trip. But she didn\u2019t soak in the waters of the Caribbean or play on the beaches of Cancun. She went to Northern Iraq and documented the travails of Christians rebuilding their communities.<\/p>\n
She saw \u201cISIS devastation with my own eyes,\u201d and it\u2019s heart-wrenching.<\/p>\n
It brought back many memories for me. Last year, I interviewed dozens of Iraqi refugees, those who had fled. Their stories were real. A few of these stories are listed below in case you didn\u2019t read them the first time:<\/p>\n
ISIS interrupted their wedding plans, but not their love<\/a><\/p>\n Family of five: We pray for ISIS<\/a><\/p>\n Nowhere to go: Refugee families escaped persecution, but cannot escape captivity<\/a><\/p>\n The straw that broke the camel\u2019s back<\/a><\/p>\n He fought for both Iraq and the US \u2013 Now no one wants him<\/a><\/p>\n The news is a funny thing. It cycles and people move on. But for these people who have lived in the cradle of Christianity, their lives continue to be upended and uncertain.<\/p>\n This fall, I\u2019ll be travelling to the Syrian border to talk to Christians pushed out of that region. If you would like to join in that effort, there\u2019s a chance to help here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n We must continue to tell their story or the world will forget. Thank you Greta for helping us remember.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
