As members of Congress pick their guests for Tuesday’s State of the Union speech, one lawmaker will make a statement by leaving the chair next to him empty.
Rep. Dan Kildee (D-Mich.), who represents Amir Hekmati’s home district in Flint, Mich., will leave a seat open for the Marine veteran held for 1,240 days and counting by Iran.
Amir, born in Flagstaff, Ariz., was visiting extended family for the first time in August 2011 when he was seized and sentenced on trumped-up espionage charges.
Amir served in the Iraq War and was honorably discharged as a sergeant in 2005. He was awarded the Combat Action Ribbon, Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War of Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and Sea Service Deployment Ribbon. Marine colleagues have symbolically joined Amir in rolling hunger strikes out of Semper Fi solidarity.
