Intro and Outro

There is one Iraqi student at the University of Wyoming – just one. His name is Ali Hamodi, and he's 21 years old. Ali grew up in a middle-class suburb in western Baghdad which, after the invasion in 2003, became one of the city's most dangerous neighborhoods. He endured the violence for two years before good luck, a good friend, and a series of letters paved him a road to Laramie. Wyoming Public Radio's Addie Goss reports.
