The heart of a warrior; The evils of war
Posted on May 6, 2005, under Current Events.
A brave, compassionate soldier, named Major Mark Bieger, holds a young girl who was just fatally wounded by a suicide bomber.
Major Bieger, I had seen him help rescue some of our guys a week earlier during another big attack, took some of our soldiers and rushed this little girl to our hospital. He wanted her to have American surgeons and not to go to the Iraqi hospital. She didn’t make it. I snapped this picture when Major Bieger ran to take her away. He kept stopping to talk with her and hug her.
