Thumbs up Will never make the news

Recieved this story via e-mail from my aunt----

Subject: Fwd: FW: Sleep tight tonight :)





He is a Chief Master Sergeant in the USAF

As high as you can go in enlisted ranks (E-9)


Wouldn't it be fitting if this went completely around the world!.....

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.

This, my friends, is worth sharing. Go for it!! You'll never see things like this in the news. Please keep this going. Nothing will happen if you don't, but 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 is just one little girl at a time.

Re: Will never make the news

Wow....is this a story for the ages or what??!!!

And you're absolutely correct - it won't make the news as it is with the child healing...if they were both killed sitting there, you bet we'd see it world wide but hey...death is what garners ratings, right?

God forbid our world should ever get off it's asp long enough to truly enjoy what is a miracle - and the savior behind it:) However...it will also never be forgotten by someone who truly counts and that would be our Lord...

Doubt too many could say that...and thanks ever so much for sharing it - this is a great way to end my night and yes, a perfect addition to my prayers...that maybe, just maybe...someday...well, you know:) xo
