More Than Just A War ...

In honour of Veterans day { yesterday, I know }, I thought I should post this for you guys. It's not all about fighting and dying, it's about love and commitment and character. This little girl might've died if it hadn't been for this man's compassionate heart. That's dedication and it warms my heart so very much!  The man, is a Chief Master Sergeant John Gebhardt serving in Afghanistan. As high as you can go in enlisted ranks (E-9) 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 the members of our services are trying to do.    I think this is really worth sharing, because we've got it so easy over here and sometimes we forget what really goes on outside our own little world.
