Dardar Paye,Liberia, US Army, Mr. Paye fled the civil war in his native Liberia in 1991, entering the United States when he was only thirteen years old. He became an LPR in 1996, and in 1998, he joined the U.S. Army, to serve and protect the country that he considers his own. As an armor crewman with the Army, Mr. Paye was deployed overseas twice: first, to Kuwait as part of Operation Desert Fox, and then again to Kosovo, as part of a NATO peacekeeping mission. By the time he was honorably discharged from the Army in 2001, Mr. Paye had earned several medals, including the Army Achievement Medal, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, and the Armed Forces Service Medal. After his discharge from the Army, he served a year-and-a-half with the New Jersey Army National Guard, before he was discharged under honorable conditions in 2002. In 2008, while serving a criminal sentence in federal prison on a weapons related offense, immigration authorities placed him in removal proceedings. He has since finished his criminal sentence and is currently being held in immigration detention at the York County Prison in York , PA. Mr. Paye is now fighting to stop his deportation to a country he barely remembers by the same country he honorably served
