Issa's family-Iraq SF KIA ICTF

Issa was a member of the "Golden Division" an Iraqi unit with Shia, Sunni, and Kurdish fighters fighting side by side.  This unit was stood up in 2004 and have fought side by side defending American soldiers and conducting dangerous raids with US Army Special Forces since the beginning of the war in Iraq. Since 2013 Issa and his men have been on the frontline against ISIS/ISIL when no one else was. The US involvement has been highly politicized on both sides of the aisle but the core of whats at stake remains vivid and real for those that live it. Issa was killed in Ramadi Iraq a couple days ago and I was notified by an active SF US operator of the circumstances. Issa's family have no death benefits and no support, given that I come from Special Forces and have fought side by side with Issa and the Iraqi Counter Terrorism Force (ICTF) and have lost brothers from both sides I know what a loss this is not only for his team mates but for his family. Issas family has been relocated to Iraq and I have friends at the state department and the military that will give the money to the family and doucment it in a ceremony on behalf of Special Forces and the US. To all my brothers in Iraq fighting, we are with you and we will never forget your sacrafice. To all my Special Forces and Armed Forces brothers and sisters that continue to serve, Thank You for your service, soon it will be our time.

Watch Issa in this documentary.
