I wonder about some American kid with the same affliction.

One can assume this tiny toots shall be getting plenty of prayers going upward. So much for carrier ops.

Even our local liberal news stations carried this story in a big way.

Baby Noor is at a premier children's hospital here, she'll get the very best of care.

And for those of you who are snarking about American babies, it's a nonprofit hospital and they do TONS of work for local kids whose parents can't afford the care -- thanks to donations from folks all over Atlanta. Don't badmouth our soldiers' desire to help the particular kid in trouble who appears in their orbit. The best charity is personal and spur of the moment.

I think American soldiers have always had a soft spot for children.

When WWII ended, my Father was with the first american troops sent into Berlin after the Russians captured it. The city was basically a mess. Daddy began to feed two children named Fritz and Ingrid. He could go through the chow line as often as he wanted so he would go through once and give the food to the kids then again for himself.

Daddy got to go home before too long and the civilian population, at least in the areas occupied by Americans were already recovering.

"I feel that God has put me specifically in this place, attached to this unit, so that I could specifically help this little baby," Donnelly said by e-mail Friday from Iraq.

[CDHart]

May God watch over this child and guide those who care for her. May He restore her to health in His service, in Jesus' name.
