“Heroes and heroines, in memory of fallen friends” by Pouran Najafi

A friend whose miles of geographical distance and years don’t detract from her love and friendly purity, and every time you see her, you feel the same warmth and honesty of the early days. Pouran Najafi was such a friend for me. A friendship with the clear water of the springs in our northern region. Pouran Najafi died on February 9, 2013, in a rocket attack ordered by the Iranian regime on Camp Liberty, Iraq.
