Just Messin’ Around!
Even those stuck in the middle of a war need to have a little fun! This photo showcases Cpl. Garrett Simoneau of Winchendon, Massachusetts as he rides on a cart while being pushed by children in the neighborhood of Husseniyah in Baghdad. Cpl. Simoneau was conducting a dismounted patrol. Despite the seriousness of war, and the fortitude of mind that these soldiers must maintain, taking a bit of time to lighten up the mood is definitely a good thing. Not to mention, it certainly helps soldiers gain the trust and respect of the local community. What a beautiful moment!
