I saw this online. A mother from Fullerton California (only identified as "Sue M") sent this to the Ellen show of her son, Steve, in Iraq. I love this photo. (I watercolored it.)

About Me
- Desert Girl
- American semi-Kuwaiti living, working, eating, boating, and observing in Kuwait. Born in America, but raised with Kuwaitis, I get culture shock on both continents. No one understands me, but my dog, and she still gives me strange looks once in a while. I do not accept payment for advertising; I won't entertain the thought. If I think your product or service is worthy of discussion, I will post about it. If I help you, you can send me pink roses. If you are interested in reading about the Bedoun cause in Kuwait, see my posts which are tagged "Bedoun Civil Rights Movement".
Life in the Desert
I danced in the desert,
I swam by the shores,
I spent warm nights under starlit blankets of silver,
I made friends from far-away places
I ate and drank and savored it all
I loved and was loved
What more could anyone ask for?

T and I watched an episode of 20/20 the other night where a US soldier and his unit found a litter of puppies, took pics with them, sent them to his fiance, but was killed that same night before she could check her email. She only saw the photos after his death and sent them to his mother who then did everything in her power to get that puppy in the picture with her son -- she now has him. I think we were both in tears at the end of the episode.
Regardless of the hardships our troops face every day when deployed to danger zones, they still manage to maintain their love and kindness. It says a lot about their character. I love the photo!
