I tried this in Just Chat but the pisture didn't come out.

 


I hope the picture will go through for you - of this Army soldier in Iraq with his 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 his wife to send him dirt ( U.S. soil), ! fertilizer, and some grass seed so that he can have the sweet aroma, a nd feel the grass grow beneath his feet When the men of the squadron have a mission that they a re 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 pai r of a s cissors. 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.

Amazing the coping skills that people use in stressful situations!

I just saw this. Something I would never have thought about. The smell of grass. We do take things for granted don't we. Bless our soldiers.
