Cutting Grass

Some emails are just to good not to pass along...

I can’t think of a better word than "PRICELESS" FOR THIS. . .

I hope the picture below 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 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, and feel the grass grow beneath his feet. When the men of the squadron have a mission that they are going on, they take turns walking through the grass and the American soil

to bring them good luck.


Of all the things he could have asked his wife to send to him from home...........he asked for American soil. WOW.

If you notice, he is even cutting the grass with a pair of scissors.. Sometimes we are in such a hurry that we don't stop and think about the little things that we take for granted.
