Kites are introduced to Afghani children; loving it!

July 22, 2007 by Rosemary Welch

This is one of those stories that touched my heart so warmly. Many people look at our Soldiers and see only brutes or men ready to kill you if you look at them wrongly. This is the furthest from the truth. They do not understand the ROE (Rules of Engagement). Many people have no idea about life in the military, this is the story for you.

Let me see if I find just one paragraph to entice you. This seems like the right one:

“It seems like time stopped here 2,000 years ago,” said Polish Pfc. Chris Demko, a gunner on one of the giant Rosomak armored personnel carriers. “We see these kids running around with nothing, not even shoes, and we want to change that.” [The Real Kite Runners flying the Afghan Skies.]

Bravo for the Polish Soldiers! It just goes to show that loving children and humanity does not stop at our waters edge. 🙂

    Thank you. It was written by someone who is on the ground with them. It is wonderful to hear of joy in such a war torn place. Yes, children are our best hope. They always have been. Maybe this is what Jesus was trying teach us when He stopped His disciples from restraining the children to come see Him? Hmm…
