It was such a hard decision but I had to stay loyal to my country and tell them to evacuate. When I got drafted into the war I had to sign an oath (Document A) stating that “I will defend the constitution of the U.S. and that I will be faithful to the president.” Knowing that I signed that oath, I couldn’t back out of this situation now.
My father had made some bad business deals and lost all of the family's money. When I was two years old, my dad went to debtor's prison.
