Frog medical interpreter in Afghanistan
March 25, 2014
Haroon Said Wardak ’13 graduated from TCU’s Harris College of Nursing and Health Sciences less than a year ago, but he’s showing his Horned Frog pride with passion on the other side of the globe.
Wardak, who describes himself as an Afghan-American “with purple blood in my veins,” is a medical interpreter/translator for U.S. military forces in Afghanistan. He also works in a NATO hospital there.
When he was deployed, he took along several TCU t-shirts. But he wanted something to show off his Horned Frog ties every day. So he bought a TCU ID tag holder from Amazon.
In the photo above, Wardak is proudly donning the TCU ID tag during formal Change of Command Ceremony at Multinational Medical Unit-NATO Hospital in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
