One little girl's story. . . . 
      James Gates, U.S. Navy

This needs to make headline news... not some of the other junk that makes the news these days!!!  Like the Rosie O. antics... celeb weddings... who's not wearing undies... etc.  If you agree, please pass this along.

It's a tough, but heartwarming story... with a picture of U.S. Air Force CMSgt 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 many nights holding her while they both slept in that chair. The girl is coming along with her healing. 

John is a real STAR of the war, and represents what America is trying to do.

This, my friends, is worth sharing with the WORLD!  Go for it!!  You'll never see things like this in the news.  ALL of 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's just one little girl at a time.
