Sgt. Koku Adzoble, an automated logistical specialist

Sgt. Koku Adzoble, an automated logistical specialist with Task Force Wolfpack, 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, is deployed to Forward Operating Base Salerno in Afghanistan. Adzoble emigrated to the United States in 2007 from the west-African country of Togo under the Diversity Visa program, run by the U.S. Department of State. He won a lottery to earn one of less than 4,000 visas offered in his country that year. "I had a chance," said Adzoble. Some countries don't get that chance, so you play every year you're eligible, and if you win, you get to come to the United States and get a visa. I was very lucky."
