U.S. Soldier Fulfills His Mission of Getting Iraqi Girl New Legs
A U.S. soldier couldn't walk past an 11-year-old Iraqi girl who was "in a large decrepit wheelchair, the stumps of her legs crusted with dried blood... He stopped to talk and he came back every day for six months, bringing her toys, gauze for her legs, a new wheelchair... When she asked for legs, that became his mission, too."
