For those who'll have trouble reading the fine print, I'll summarize. This is Chief Master Sergeant John Gebhardt, and the girl he's holding is the only survivor of a family methodically executed by terrorists in Iraq. They shot her in the head, too.
If the Dems win tomorrow...well, I'll let Freeper El Gato tell ya, as he put it in this thread:
Cut and run Kerry, and his buddy Bug Out Murtha would leave this little girl to the tender mercies of the human garbage that killed her family.
BTW, a USAF CMSgt is very high ranking NCO (E9). Equivalent to Army SgtMajor, Navy Master Chief Petty Officer, Marine Master Gunnery Sgt. It's a sure bet that he has plenty of other things to do and many responsibilities. But still he gives up his valuable sack time to calm this little girl, allowing her to get the rest she needs to speed her recovery.
Quite frankly, I think the Rats have given us millions of reasons to vote GOP this election, and there are a mess of positive reasons to vote for this House caucus, such as their fight against the McCain Amnesty Plus bill. But this one reason is enough. Pelosi and Reid will abandon the two people in this photo, leaving one to Al Qaeda and the other dazed on the floor after they pull the rug out for the second time in a little over 30 years. They will let John Murtha and John Kerry decide how this all ends. But we can stop them.
This one's a must win, ladies and gentlemen. It's broken glass time. Git R Done!
Thanks for the Ping! That picture says it all! God bless our troops for their bravery and their huge hearts!
Wow!! What a sobering, and powerful pic !!
It's like the troops are over there taking care of our backs, and it seems like the LEAST we can do for them is to reciprocate back here, by making SURE we support them with our votes !!
Great post Mr. Silverback !! BTTT !!
Thanks for the ping...
Took a friend, she is a rare voter, meaning that I persuaded her to get reregistered and vote in the last presidential election because her only other vote was for Jimmah Carter.
She voted straight Republican that time and I told her that she owed America seven more years of voting to atone for Jimmah.
I called her up last week after jon carry's comments and asked her if she was going to vote and she said she had'nt planned on it but she would if I came with her.
We went on Thursday and she came out grinning cause she went straight Republican ticket, again. I was even impressed with her ballot measures and court picks. ---Whata girl!---
Must say that it was hard to be in that early voting line and not cast my vote---but I had to wait because my husband, daughter and me had plans to meet together and go vote, today. We will be at the voting precint mid-morning and needless to say are all voting straight Republican ticket.
blurry screen bump...
Thanks for all your support. Here is a picture of us terrorizing women and children in the dead of night after we kicked in some doors... OK, maybe not... Do they really look terrorized to you?

Forgot to mention that I love that picture. I don't post a lot, but I am here with you guys all of the time.
Have seen that picure many times, but it always gets me to see a father's love. I know he is not the Dad of that girl, but a father's (or father to be) love is something special and I am glad that he took the time to bond with that little girl.
Blurry screen is right ~
Isn't he wonderful?
I'm just so deeply proud to vote tomorrow, aren't you?
Sweet!
Obviously one of our stupid, bloodthirsty troops wreaking havoc.
;)
God bless our troops!!!!
The caption that you can barely read on the photo says:
Comforting embrace
Air Force Chief Master Sgt. John Gebhardt, of the 332nd Expeditionary Medical Group at Balad, Iraq, cradles a young girl as they both sleep in the hospital. The girl's entire family was executed by insurgents; the killers shot her in the head as well. The girl received treatment at the U.S. military hospital in Balad, but cries and moans often. According to the nurses at the facility, Gebhardt is the only one who can calm down the girl, so he has spent the last several nights holding her while they both sleep in a chair.
Ok, I'm done...
If the rats gain control of the House, then Amnesty for Illegals will become a reality, much more swiftly and much worse than the Senate's amnesty bill that passed earlier this year. The House GOP is our last defence against Amnesty for Illegal Aliens.
These are the men of the American military.
Do you not see the face of God?
Very well said, Mr. Silverback. I'm with you all the way.
VOTE LIKE YOU MEAN IT, FOLKS!
Yes, sir! FReepers, please....if you don't HAVE to vote by mail, don't vote by mail. Go to the polls. SEE your ballot go into that machine and get counted. Voting is a privelege and a DUTY. It's not about convenience. It's about LIBERTY! /rant
Beautiful post, Mr. Silverback.
I early voted......ALL Republican. There's too much at stake to do otherwise.
What a wonderful picture. Vote Republican!
Prayer changes the world.
So let us join together in asking God to intervene strongly and decisively in an election which will affect the fates of so many souls in America and around the world, beginning...
"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: Heavenly Father, You alone have the divine power to vouchsafe the election in America for the forces of goodness and life. Relying on the perfect promise of Your perfect Son, we implore you to mobilize the Holy Spirit to battle the forces of evil in our beloved land and to bring forth Your Perfect Will for this election. Send the Intrepid Saint Michael and all the warrior angels from heaven to fight for life and justice. We beg for the intercession of all the martyrs in heaven; for all holy souls who have shed blood for Divine Love, and we ask especially for the intercession of all the deceased relatives of CatholiCity Citizens and their guardian angels. So far as You, Almighty God, have dominion over the affairs of men, let light triumph over darkness."
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas, pray for us.
Saints Katharine Drexel and Elizabeth Ann Seton, pray for us.
Saint Thomas More, Patron of Politicians, pray for us.
Immaculate Mary, Patroness of the United States, pray for us.
Saint Joseph, Defender of Families, pray for us.
Holy Spirit, Guide Us on Election Day.
Jesus Christ, King of Kings, we adore you!
Amen.
WE MEET AT DAWN
