    From refugee to U.S. Soldier: a full-circle moment in Ghana (short version)

    Ghanaian Armed Forces (GAF) Brig. Gen. William Kwabiah (left), deputy chief staff officer of operations and training; U.S. Army Capt. Peter Afari, Civil Affairs (CA) team chief; U.S. Army Staff Sgt. John Simone; U.S. Army Sgt. John O’Brien; team medic; all with CA Team Ghana, U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF); GAF Col. Lisbon Nsiah, plans and policy officer, gather during a civil affairs engagement at Accra, Ghana, June 8, 2025. During this engagement, Kwabiah and U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Raymond Jackson (not pictured), civil affairs noncommissioned officer, realized that their paths had crossed in 1998 when Jackson (2-years-old at the time) and his family fled a dangerous situation in Liberia as refugees. Kwabiah, then a second lieutenant, commanded the mission that received them as refugees in Ghana. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Raymond Jackson)
