Nephew going to Iraq and needs help

[karmaqueen]

My Great Nephew is trying to find his father before he leaves for Iraq in September. His father left him many times throughout his life then would show back up. He has not been able to find him for a few years now. He asked me to help and told me he just wants to tell his father he loves him and forgives him. He said he just wants everything to be OK in case something happens. I really do not know where to start. I would appreciate it if anyone knows how I should start to go about this. I have to go for now but will be back on tomorrow. Thanks in advance to anyone who can guide me in the right direction.
