Hello everyone…
Back in 2005 I made a slide/video titled… “If The World Only Knew”.
In it I tried to bring out the TRUE HEARTS of our fighting men and women in uniform in Iraq and around the world.
.
Try to go back in time and remember how the World… the Left and the MSM were reporting and portraying our Men and Women in uniform. Remember!!!?
.
What I do not understand is HOW just over HALF of America could then turn around and VOTE these SAME people into Power.
.
I’m a betting man that over 30% of them have now awakened to their mistake and will change their vote back to the right side in the upcoming elections over the next few years. For our country’s sake… I do pray it to-be so…
.
With that said -- Here’s my video from 2005
“If The World Only Knew”

The boy came to Johnson, a medic with Company D, 252nd Combined Arms Battalion, 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team, and pointed at his wounds while Johnson was on a mission with fellow Soldiers in the area. Johnson treated the boy's neck, chest and shoulders with cream, and the boy's father helped wrap the wounds with gauze.

David Roberson, a tanker with Company D, 252nd Combined Arms Battalion, 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team, chats with Iraqi children, who had been unloading supplies to stock a small shop in the rural village of Jalabi, just outside Baghdad, July 24.

Photo 4: Spc. Mitchell Johnson, a medic with Company D, 252nd Combined Arms Battalion, 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team, treats an Iraqi boy's burns in the rural village of Jalabi, in the Radwaniyah District just outside Baghdad, July 24. Johnson, from Wilmington, N.C., cleaned the wounds and applied a cream to help them heal, and gave the boy a tube of the cream for future treatments. The family said he was burned when his mother accidentally spilled hot cooking oil on him. Soldiers were in the area to speak to local leaders about the possibility of helping with improvements in the area.

Photo 6: Sgt. 1st Class Henry Rhodes, of Sanford, N.C., gives snack crackers to Iraqi children during a mission with fellow Company D, 252nd Combined Arms Battalion, 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team Soldiers, in the rural Jalabi village, in the Radwaniyah District, just south of Baghdad, July 24. Rhodes, a platoon sergeant, quickly became popular with the children and they followed him around the rest of the time the Soldiers were in the area. Rhodes said it was the first time any coalition forces had stopped at the village in more than a year, which was one reason for the excitement from the children. Soldiers were in the area to speak to local leaders about the possibility of helping with improvements in the area. .
