The Green Green
Grass of Home - in Iraq
 This Army soldier in Iraq
with his tiny 'plot' of grass
in front of his tent. It's heartwarming! Here is a soldier
stationed in Iraq, stationed in a big sand box.
He asked his
wife to send him dirt
(U.S. soil), fertilizer, and some grass seed so that he can have the
sweet aroma, and feel the grass grow beneath his feet.
When the men of the squadron have a mission that they are going on,
they take turns walking through the grass and the American soil -- to
remind them why they're there doing this.
If you notice, he is even cutting the grass with a pair of a scissors.
Sometimes we are in such a hurry that we don't stop and think about the
little things that we take for granted.
Say a little prayer for our soldiers that give and give (and give up)
so unselfishly for us.
