The Caption reads:
'Air Force Cheif Master Sgt. John Gebhardt of the 332nd Expeditionary Medical Group, Iraq, cradles a young girl as they both sleep in the hospital. The girl's entire family was exectuted by insurgents; the killers shot her in the head as well. The girl recieved treatment at the US military hospital, but cries and moans often. According to nurses at the facility, Gebhardt is the only one who can calm down the girl, so he has spent the last several nights holding her while they both sleep in a chair.'
