A Few Good Things

While researching the pictures that I used on my Memorial Day post I came across some interesting photos. The photos below show some of the good things that our young boys in the military are doing in Iraq. These things are seldom discussed or even mentioned in the news. Since I am finishing up the school year I thought it would be nice to share these with you. Below each picture is a description and proper credit for the photographer.
