American Soldier’s Grass Picture

I received an email with this picture of 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 bring them good luck.

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.

Upon receiving this, say a little prayer for our soldiers that give and give (and give up) so unselfishly for us.

“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands!”
