Got this from Steve. Verfied the story here but it reminded me of a few refugees I picked up out at sea or out of a minefield who literally wet themselves thinking we were going to execute them and were so relieved when we gave them a cigarette, a drink of water and even my jacket to cover up until we got them back to base and some first aid.
THE REAL WINNER OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE! 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. Even if it is just one little girl at a time.
