Post; Too bad this won't make the news...


If this is a dupe...oh well. It deserves it.


This needs to make headline news...not some of the other junk that makes the news these days!!!


It's a tough, but heartwarming story...with a picture of John Gebhardt in Iraq.






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.


James Gates U. S. Navy



I've checked snopes already, and it's legit. Here's the Air Force Link

That is a good shot - but no, not news worthy. Not even the part about her parents being killed b/c it paints the insurgents as bad guys - that's not part of the liberal agenda!
