US Soldiers Walk on US Soil in Iraq

My cousin shared this picture and explanation with me. In this picture, a US Army soldier is tending to his tiny 'plot' of grass in front of his tent. He is actually using scissors to cut the grass. It is said that he asked his wife to send him dirt (US 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 have a mission, they take turns walking through the grass and the American soil -- to bring them good luck.

May God Bless our Soldiers as they fight for freedom for a people
in a part of the world who have never seen real freedom!!
