GillBilly Chronicals: Soldier in Iraq Cultivates an American Soiled Grass Plot

This is a photo of an 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. His wife sent him dirt (U.S. soil), fertilizer, and some grass seed so that he can have the sweet aroma, and feel the grass grow beneath his feet. Before the men of the squadron leave on a mission, they take turns walking through the grass and the American soil -- to bring them good luck. Sometimes we are in such a hurry that we don't stop and think about the little things that we take for granted. Notice in the photo he is even cutting the grass with a pair of a scissors.

Upon reading this, say a little prayer for our soldiers that give so unselfishly for us.
