A True Story and Photo — Author Unknown
According to an article in Air Force Print News in November, 2006, the story is true and so is the photography shown below.
Chief Master Sgt. John Gebhardt, was superintendent of the 22nd Wing Medical Group out of McConnell Air Force Base in Kansas. The picture was taken in October, 2006, while he was deployed to Balad Air Base in Iraq.
The young girl had been shot in the head and had extensive injuries. The insurgents that shot her also killed both of her parents and many of her siblings, according to the article. It was a tough, but heartwarming story… with a picture of John Gebhardt in Iraq.
John Gebhardt’s wife, Mindy, said that this little girl’s entire family was executed, but the insurgents failed to kill her. She was cared for in John’s hospital and was healing up, but she continued to cry and moan. The nurses said John is the only one who seemed to calm her down, so John spent four nights holding her while they both slept in that chair.
John is a real Star of the war… and he represents everything America is trying to do.
