This is what SHOULD be in the News...
« on: November 18, 2008, 07:51:23 PM »

This is what SHOULD be in the News...


This needs to make headline news...not some of the other junk that makes the news these days!!!



It's a  tough, but heart-warming story...with a picture of John Gebhardt in Iraq.
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 the Western world is trying to do.   

This, my friends, is  worth sharing with the WORLD! Go for it!!

You'll never see  things like this in the news. Please keep this going. Nothing will  happen if you don't, but the public needs to see pictures like this  and needs to realize that we're making a difference. Even if it  is just one little girl at a time.

We  cannot direct the wind but we can adjust our  sails...

Well, aint it just the truth.. I am sure the network reporters check out this site.. so i hope to be seeing this on the news soon... may i wish the little girl the best , and full recovery.. and how in the name of God can a man shoot a child, and this an act of attempted murder, and accident is one thing, murder is another... i would love to go bare knuckles in a locked room with the sucker who did this..may God have mercy on you as no human could....ranrad
