My family has been in Kuwait since 1979, I was actually born just 1 month prior to Saddams invasion. My dad recalled that when he returned in 1991 after the liberation, our apartment was broken into. Possibly by Iraqi troops or just local looters. He said that there was a white cloth that he had forgotten on the clothesline. It was pitch black due to being exposed to the oil fires.

Most of the stuft was gone, but there was a lone Seiko watch that my dad had received as a gift for from my grandpa. The watch was fortunately hidden inside a shoebox in the attic so fortunately it didn't end up getting stolen.

I still wear it to this day :)
