It’s a few hundred yards from the couple of houses around the cemetery, which form the village of Juhor al-Dik, to his small house near the border.

(ALAMEDA, Calif.) - Salem-News.com Jason Moon's mother tells him that as a young child he loved writing songs and that during long car trips he'd share his songs with her.
