Soldier and Camel
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.)

Thanks for stopping by and it is so nice to hear from you! Just a few words on commenting: Through this blog, I won’t tolerate intolerance, hatred, finger-pointing or personal vendettas. If I even get those types of comments, I will most likely delete them because I believe it defeats the purpose of positive efforts and energy. Stop the hate.
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.
ReplyDeleteRegardless 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!
