He is a Chief Master Sergeant in the USAF
As high as you can go in enlisted ranks (E-9)
Wouldn't it be fitting if this went completely around the world!.....

John Gebhardt's wife, Mindy, said that this little girl's entire family was executed. The insurgents intended to execute the little girl also, and shot her in the head..but they failed to kill her. She was cared for in John's hospital and is healing up, but continues to cry and moan. The nurses said John is the only one who seems to calm her down, so John has spent the last four nights holding her while they both slept in that chair. The girl is coming along with her healing.
He is a real Star of the war, and represents what America is trying to do.
This, my friends, is worth sharing. Go for it!! You'll never see things like this in the news. Please keep this going. Nothing will happen if you don't, but the American public needs to see pictures like this and needs to realize that what we're doing over there is making a difference. Even if it is just one little girl at a time.

I remember seeing it last year too. It is precious!! We have done so much good over in Iraq and Afghanistan!! The press just doesn't want us to know! My daughter has told us many stories of what she personally saw and did and well as what other members of her unit have done. I am so proud of her and of our military!!!

I recieved that as well. I get lots of great pics of our service men and women interacting with the locals in those countries. The pics generally show acts of kindness...and the faces of the recipients show their appreciation. This pic is a particularly sweet one.
