During the 1930s,the Great War broke out.A 25-year-old American soldier,probably never thought that his life would change forever when he volunteered to go to France.
One night while the American unit was returning to the base after a bloody fight,Suleyman stumbled into the ground and noticed a bit of movement from the bush.Being stuck between two choices either its enemy or an animal,Suleyman found a five-year-old girl from the bushes shivering with cold and utmost fear.Due to the atrocity of the war,the girl was abandoned by her family and the whole village was killed.
During the war,it was impossible to find the child's family so Suleyman took this little French girl under his wings and gave her an American name Flora which means like the flower.Soon,F(xiàn)lora became the apple of the eye of everyone living in the army camp.
For one and a half years,F(xiàn)lora and Suleyman became inseparable;however,every fairy tale comes to an end.When the war ended,Suleyman was sent back to USA,while Flora was put in an orphanage,the Normandy School,which was founded by the American government for orphaned French children to have an education.
For years,Suleyman always thought about Flora.When the French National Olympic Team was playing in the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984,Suleyman gazed through the audience on TV,hoping to catch a glimpse of Flora,but he never could.
At the age of 85,Suleyman attended the 60th anniversary reception of the Great War where Suleyman shared his story with American and French officials.After hearing his story,a French journalist started to investigate the story,and all government files were read in detail.The moment the journalist helped dial the number,in tears,F(xiàn)lora said Suleyman was her hero,and everything came flooding back to her.
