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

Russ Towne's A Grateful Man 
He does not look more than a child himself.
The idealism of youth can be a truly wonderful thing if not co-opted by evil doers with power.

Thank you for sharing this with us, and I agree with willowdot21 the soldier looks so young as well
I appreciate your comment and agree that he looks like a young man. Young people are expected to endure the most during times of war.
