Photo of the Day: Reunited

| 2 Comments | 3 TrackBacks

Yesterday's photo got some great feedback. Today's is better, and comes via a great blog called War Photos.

Every Picture Tells a Story, Don't It: Free Iraqi Forces soldier Ali, whose full name was withheld for security reasons, hugs a nephew he had never seen before as he is reunited with family members Saturday in Umm Qasr, Iraq. Ali, 40, a former officer in the Iraqi army, escaped from Iraq in 1991 after being involved in the Basra uprising and had been working as a taxi driver in St. Louis, Mo. He is serving with U.S. troops in the Free Iraqi Forces, which are made up mostly of Iraqi exiles opposed to Saddam Hussein. They're helping a lot.

I've got goose bumps. What a wonderful picture.

That is simply awesome. Combined with the news that 100+ kids got released from a children's prison today, it's turning into a feel-good kind of day. We could all use one of those here and there ...

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
