*Warning Warning* This one is a tear jerker.

We do great things for our country on a daily, but these are the stories that rarely get the light that they should. I think we got a little extra in the good karma pot for this one here.

What a great story, SPC Christopher Smith! I remember this one when it first was in the news a few years ago. Here's a link to a video news story about that special day in Khalil's life:

200th MP, you just won a fan in Minnesota. That kid and his mother will remember this day forever.
Good work.
