    David, with his wife Karen, is director of the Free Burma Rangers (FBR), an organisation originally founded to help ethnic groups oppressed by the Burmese government (the people they work with prefer to use the name Burma over Myanmar), but that has grown into a humanitarian service specialising in providing aid in conflict areas around the world. ...

    Perhaps the Iraqis didn't know what to make of the Free Burma Rangers when they first turned up, but seeing the Eubanks put their own lives and the lives of their kids on the line to help them quickly earned their trust. The children's programs Karen and the kids run are usually held out of harm's way, but that definition is a little loose in confl...

    But who willingly takes their family into a war zone? "It's dangerous," David acknowledges. But then, the Eubank children aren't exactly ordinary kids. They've been sneaking through the jungle back and forth across the Burmese border since they were babes in arms. They've learnt to hunt and fish, make fire, handle knives.

    Wresting control of Mosul back from Islamic State was a violent mission. "It was just bloodshed, suffering, families being killed, villages being blown up, suicide vehicles coming out of nowhere, Iraqi soldiers being shot. And ISIS fought for every block," David says.

But by rights that grenade, which went off just four metres away, should have taken his legs off and killed him. Then there was the grenade dropped by an Islam...

    A few weeks ago, they left Mosul. David's Burmese team leaders needed to return home, and the Eubank family headed to the US, partly for some R and R, but mostly to spread the word about what's happening in Iraq and raise funds for their work there. They're travelling across the country — they're in the midst of a 15-hour drive between Missouri and...
