I anticipate both questions and criticism for publishing as An Unknown Soldier.  Frankly, I have many reasons but, primarily, I want to acknowledge the extraordinary training I received while serving in the Armed Forces. 

I would not have been able to decipher this writing system without the skills I was given while in uniform.  Precisely how my training destined me to make this discovery will be made clear on Christmas Day.

As far as my military service is concerned, for the first half of my career I served in a support capacity and, in the second half of my career, in a  combat arms capacity.  I did nothing worth mentioning.  I was too young for Vietnam, was attending college during Desert Storm, and had already returned to civilian life by the time 9/11 happened.

Obviously, I have no war stories to tell, but I pray my humble contribution to research linguistics will make up for it.  Which brings me to my final concern.  

My research will likely draw the ire of thousands who will be incensed where my findings clash with their own understanding.  I am speaking of the Supreme Leader in Tehran.  Though he does not yet know it, the true origins of the Persian people are about to be revealed for the whole world to see.

I am in awe of what I have learned about Persia, though I anticipate The Ayatollah will not be amused. 

Do forgive my decision to remain under cover and concealment 😉

Respectfully,

An Unknown Soldier
