Commentary would be superfluous



The small print:

Comforting Embrace:

Air Force Chief Master Sergeant John Gebhardt of the 332nd Expeditionary Medical Group at Balad, Iraq, cradles a young girl as they both sleep in the hospital. The girl's entire family was executed by insurgents; the killers shot her in the head as well The girl received treatment at the U.S. Military hospital in Balad but cries and moans often. According to the nurses at the facility, Gebhardt is the only one who can calm down the girl, so he has spent the last several nights holding her while they both sleep in a chair.

"He who guards your life knows it and will repay each according to his deeds."
Proverbs 2:13

Unless things have changed since I retired "Civil Master Sergeant" should be "Chief Master Sergeant."
