Al Amreeki gives a high five to his interpreter, Nadia Shaya, April 10 at Shriners Hospital in Cincinnati. The 3-year-old left Balad Air Base, Iraq, with more than 45 percent of his body burned from a stove fire at his home and Airmen and medics have helped nurse him back to health.

How wonderful = these things count really big.

Everyone in their home town in Iraq will know this story = another example of the difference between us ‘Infidels” and al Queda.

God Bless Capt. Michael Riegler and every last member of the armed forces serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. I hope little Al Amreeki makes a full recovery and is able to return to his family. He's a living testament to the strength, nobility and purpose of America and her Armed Forces.

Yep, makes me proud to be an American and a Shriner.
