STRATFORD — Dylan Connor is jet-lagged but also wound up. Just back from a week-long mission to aid Syrian refugees who are caught in a no-man land between a just lost bloody war and a Jordanian border most can’t cross, Connor wants to keep his promise. “We can’t solve this, but when you bear witness to it, that is a powerful thing,” Connor said from a suburban front porch where neighbors who walk by wave ‘hi” to welcome him back. Connor wants to make sure the Syrian people he met — including the mom whose son suffered third-degree burns when a bomb fell on their kitchen and the 17-year-old artist in John Lennon-like glasses who refused to be defined by the leg she lost in the conflict — are not forgotten.
