Heroes On A Daily Basis
Michael Lebb
It’s part of the job for American medical teams to care for civilians caught up in the bloody mess of Afghanistan fighting, so when a call came over the radio January 12, to help an injured three-year-old girl, an Army medical team rushed to save her.
The child had a bullet lodged in her back and had been doused by shrapnel, but when the medical unit arrived they found an even more pressing problem — a 22-year-old Marine Lance Corporal named Winder Perez had been hit as well — and the rocket propelled grenade (RPG) that had taken him down lay unexploded in his leg.

This article represents what our military sees on a daily basis in all parts of the world.
Nothing short of heroes, US citizens, that step into situations voluntarily and change the world for the better through sacrifice.
People helping people, making a difference in the world. The uniform says US, and it symbolizes what the majority of the US stands for. Freedom, a hand up, and equality. Some call it nation building. But if US civil engineers in the middle east, were not assisting in building sanitation systems, along with the assistance of other nations, how long would it be until better living conditions were brought to thrid world countries.
It is alwasy a struggle to bring peace to warring countries that do not see a better way. It is also costly, timely, and never without a loss of lives.

China -- which sat on the world's biggest foreign exchange reserves of around $3.20 trillion as of the end of June -- is the largest foreign holder of US Treasuries.

If the US were on the other side of this, and we owned China debt, we would be saying the exact same thing. And if we did not, once again, there would be something wrong with our politicians!
