U.S. Military Efforts in Dominica Reunite Father, Son
U.S. citizen David Shargel embraces his son, Naya Shargel, at Douglas-Charles Airport in Melville Hall, Dominica, Sept. 26, 2017. Naya was separated from his father during Hurricane Maria; the two were reunited after a three-day search by U.S. service members with Joint Task Force - Leeward Islands. At the request of the Department of State, JTF-LI has deployed aircraft and service members to assist in the voluntary evacuation of U.S. citizens from Dominica. The task force is a U.S. military unit composed of Marines, Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen, and represents U.S. Southern Command’s primary response to the hurricanes that have affected the area.
