Angel in the Desert

Don't know if this has been posted here before, but even if it has, a re-post is called for.

Received this via email today.  Definitely a "Someone you should know" post.

The caption reads:

Air Force Chief Master Sgt. 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.

Another one of Dick Durbin's Nazis or John Kerry's troops terrorizing women and children, no doubt.

God Bless you, Chief Master Sgt Gebhardt!
