Think about this soldier next time you complain about that task.
Here is a soldier stationed in Iraq, living in a big sand box. He asked his wife to send him dirt, fertilizer and some grass seeds so 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. Sometimes we are in such a hurry that we don’t stop and think about the little things that we take for granted. Please say a prayer for our soldiers that give (and give up) so unselfishly for us.
I know the HHC 1SG with our unit cultivated his own little garden in Iraq. I think the soldiers appreciate it, even if they have dubbed it The Garden of Peace and Tranquil Gayness 🙂
