War...

I got the picture and story below in an email today, and I thought it was special, so I'm sharing. The little girl looks to be about Rocco's size/ age...

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 now coming along well with her healing.
John is a real star of the war, and represents what America is trying to do. This story goes to show that what we're doing over there IS making a difference... Even if it is just one little girl at a time.
