Child after being freed from ISIS by Iraqi soldiers

Just awesome..

Get eervyone of them they can. When my dad was deployed to Kandahar he had hired a plumber who was a local and he was so happy because the money the American government paid them was obviously a lot better. He invited my dad over for dinner which he obviously had to decline for his safety so the guy bought him a crucifix cause he knew my dad was Catholic.

Over the months they became friends and they had shared pictures of their kids (me I guess haha) and eaten lunch and dinner together for a while.

One morning my father woke up and the guy didn’t know up for work that day and obviously that meant something happened.

The Taliban found out he was working for them, killed him and his whole family, kids and all, and hung them in their front yard and posted a sign that basically said this is what happens when you work with the nonbelievers.

My dad doesn’t get emotional about much but he still wears that crucifix to this day.
