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 might have the sweet aroma
and
feel the grass grow beneath his feet. Before the men
of the squadron have a mission 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.
