Two area residents make repeat trips to Middle East

By SOPHIA MAINES Special to The Star  

Joe Carr watched a bulldozer crush fellow activist Rachel Corrie in Gaza two years ago. Weeks later, he witnessed the shooting of another activist, Tom Hurndall, in the same region.

The violence only fueled the 23-year-old Kansas City resident's desire to help people in the turbulent Middle East.
