A Real Example of a Nobel Peace Prize 'Should-Be' Recipient

God Bless the Men and Women of Our Armed Forces!

   This is Chief Master Sargeant John Gebhardt., Superintendent of the 22nd Wing Medical Group at McConnel Air Force Base in Kansas. This picture was taken in October 2006 while Chief Gebhardt was deployed to Ballad Air Force Base in Iraq. John is now back home with his wife and children in Wichita, Kansas, but this snapshot in time lives on in the minds of many forever.

  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.

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

  You never see things like this in the news.  Sometimes, 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.
