Keep up your great work .. I was born there in 1965 and came to the states at the age of 2 . Never been back but extremely proud of being Lebanese and it’s people. My dad wrestled in 2 Olympic Games for the country of Lebanon in 1952 and Rome in 1960. His name was Nazem Khalil Amine. His picture was in the olympic stadium that no longer due to war. I followed his footsteps here in the US taking the #2 spot in nation many years ago. Now both of my sons Malik and Myles are competing globally. And Myles Nazem qualified for the Tokyo Olympic Games inshallah next summer. Lebanese Proud. Go bless , Sincerely,
Mike Amine
