My Iranian of today and for ever is my dearest father Col. Rahim Pournourbakhsh who passed away today [August 3, 2003], in the prison of the IRI regime after 25 years of torture, insult, injury and abuse.

May you rest in peace Baba! I was not able to see you in that long period of time and the mullahs don't allow me to even attend your funeral, but I will see you again.

Baba I close my eyes and I see you. Baba I can smell you. Baba I love you. I miss your firm and loving hugs. I knew that this day was going to come, but not this soon.

Death to your captors, death to mullahs, death to their stupid revolution. Death to the Pahlavis and their gang for forgetting you in Iran like they did 65,000,000 others. You wore your uniform with pride and you served well. You deserved better, but you never asked for more. I will see you again Baba.
