Just an email I got…
I am not sure if this is true, but if is not then it still makes a good story. I got this as an email from a friend. Just want to thanks all the military out there. No matter what, you are doing something I did not do and for that I am thankful.
John Gebhardt’s wife, Mindy, said that this little girl’s entire family was executed. The insurgents intended to execute the little girl also, and shot her in the head…but they failed to kill her. She was cared for in John’s hospital and is healing up, but continues to cry and moan. The nurses said John is the only one who seems to calm her down, so John has spent the last four nights holding her while they both slept in that chair. The girl is coming along with her healing.
He is a real Star of the war, and represents what America is trying to do.
This, my friends, is worth sharing. Go for it!! You’ll never see things like this in the news.. Please keep this going. Nothing will happen if you don’t, but the American public needs to see pictures like this and needs to realize that what we’re doing over there is making a difference.. Even if it is just one little girl at a time..

War is war, but we are all humans. We have to put the larger things aside and be human.
