Soldier Lifted The Barbwire To Help a Child

Posted on January 11, 2014 by russtowne

When people think in terms of “we” instead of “them versus us”, understanding, kindness, compassion, forgiveness, and connection can begin to take root and lead to peace. I believe the soldier in the photo understood this and was willing to risk his life for a cause that is greater than war or nations. May his heroic act be long remembered and inspire others to do the same.
With Love,
Russ
