Thanks For The Email, Sgt. Fury

When I see there's something in my Inbox that's been forwarded by my buddy Sgt. Fury I know it's going to be worth checking out.

This is what he sent over this evening...

Army soldier in Iraq with his tiny 'plot' of grass
in front of his tent. It's heartwarming!

Here is a United States soldier in Iraq , stationed in a big sand box.

It's Warrant Officer Brook Turner; he's stationed at Camp Cooke north of Baghdad.

Warrant Officer Turner 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. If you notice, he is even cutting the grass with a pair of a scissors!

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.

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.
