Hosting Ambassador Henry V. Jardine (Ret.), last week former U.S. Ambassador to Mauritius and Seychelles.
Over a 30+ year career, he went from jumping out of aircraft with the 101st Airborne to reopening our embassy in Seychelles after 27 years, and to leading the program that builds America's embassies worldwide. He also speaks Bangla and Nepali, so our Q&A had a few more options than usual.
Thank you, Ambassador Jardine, for an insightful look at life in the Foreign Service and how embassies really work.
