A Kiss For A Baby

How can anyone resist the preciousness of a baby? This Marine of the 1st Division kisses a little baby on the head before going out on a foot patrol in the town of Fallujah in 2004. Now, that same child is probably around 14 years old! At the time, the United States forces were preparing for a possible incoming attack in the area. It is all too easy to forget that children have to suffer through the horrors of war, when they should be the ones who are the most protected. Perhaps, if this reality was kept at the forefront of everyone’s mind, one day peace might actually be achievable.
