Asman's stepson Felipe is a member of the U.S. Marine Corps. As the father of a patriot, Asman dedicated his op-ed column on the Fox News site to his stepson on July 4, 2016.
He remembered the struggle of his son as an immigrant.
When a communist dictatorship threatened to force Felipe into military servitude at the age of seven, he left Nicaragua with his mother in November 1988 to start a new life with Asman.
