I recieved this in my Email earlier today and thought i would share.

Army soldier in Iraq withhis 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 hiswife 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.


Say a little prayer for our soldiers that give and give (and give up) so unselfishly for us.
