America: Still Land of the Free?
True Story of A Colonel and His Family Says Otherwise.
(PRWEB) October 16, 2005 -- With fear and apprehension still hanging over the country like a dense fog, the possible terrorist attacks continue to impact the American public.
Innocent people have problems to live in the United States due to racial profiling and the fear of additional attacks.
The Department of Homeland Security was developed in response to the events of 9/11, but Americans remain on high alert. For one family, racial profiling by this government agency created a nightmare. In his book America Hates Me But I Still Love Her!, Author Umut Ozturk tells their story.
Born in Istanbul, Turkey, Umut Ozturk came to the United States with his family in 1990 at the age of twelve. His father is an NATO officer who participated in the U.S. Air Force and Turkish Air Force exchange program, and the family settled in Biloxi, Mississippi.
Years later, while trying to qualify for financial aid in order to attend law school, Umut applied for permanent U.S. residency. However, the United States Government changed their lives irrevocably.
The Ozturk family was forced to leave Biloxi, Mississippi exactly one year before the Hurricane Katrina by a man-made storm.
Today, the Ozturk family is living far away from Biloxi, Mississippi.
Ironically, Author Ozturk's father Colonel Ozturk received a commendation from the FBI for his years of public service.
America Hates Me But I Still Love Her! reveals a new racism against foreigners that has become increasingly prevalent throughout the "land of the free and the home of the brave." Ozturk’s compelling prose and easy-to-read style will instantly draw the reader into his tragic and all-too-true story.
