Comforting Embrace

What magnificant men we have in uniform! This little child has lost her whole family by the hands of murderous insurgents (terrorists). She was also shot in the head, but she is being treated at an American hospital in Balad, Iraq.

Air Force Chief Master Sgt. John Gebhardt, of the 332nd Expiditionary Medical Group is said to be the only one who is able to calm this precious child. You see them here sleeping as he has done for the past few nights. I do believe she loves him. Wouldn't you?

This picture was taken by David W. Gilmore Jr./U.S. Air Force. Great shot! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It is always good to see all the GOOD work being done in Iraq. God bless all of you.

PS. I wonder...will the Iraqis and the Air Force allow him to adopt this beauty? Hmm...
