"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 nurses at the facility, Gebhardt is the only one who can calm the girl, so he has spent the last several nights holding her while they both sleep in a chair."

Chief Gebhardt exemplifies the new Air Force motto 'Do Something Amazing'.

They shot her in the head? And she's still alive? That's a miracle for sure...

I'm thinking those insurgents, if caught, will not get much mercy.
