yes The lives and stories of the Americans who called GTMO "home" for so long should not be discarded.

yes Yes the past is important. Without the past there is no present nor a future. I had a wonderful time in GTMO and am glad to reconnect with those that were stationed there at the same time and to also see what has and is happening there now. It is not just about the camps, it's about lives.
