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 America is trying to do. He is a real hero, and represents what America is trying to do.

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 who shot her killed both of her parents and many of her siblings.)
