I was writing articles about Muslim events like Ramadan and dietary requirements for Muslim soldiers. Khan said the annual Pentagon celebration of Ramadan is very encouraging to Muslim soldiers. One guest who accompanied Khan from Fort Bragg echoed the chaplain's view. Boukassim Khalid of C Company, 1st Battalion, 321st Field Artillery, said the Iftar celebration gave him a chance to meet some fellow Muslims and discuss religious issues. After Muslim service members said prayers and broke their day's fast with water and dates, Clark expressed his appreciation for their contribution to the nation's defense.
