A Day in the Life of a Hero

The Gunn Nutt has an update on soldier Joshua Sparling, who was injured in Iraq.

You may not remember Joshua but I do, because Joshua is the soldier who received a card through the Red Cross wishing that he would die.

On the way to his first surgery on November 24th, the Red Cross gave Joshua a card. Josh thanked them for the card and opened it the next day. The card said, “Have a great time in the war and have a great time dieing in the war.” Joshua hung the card on the wall of his hospital room as an incentive to get well so he could go back to Iraq and finish the job.

Brian Kilmeade from Fox News and Colonel Oliver North came by the hospital just before Christmas and saw the card. They were appalled that someone would send such a card. The story made the news on Fox and Friends. Sean Hannity was made aware of the card and interviewed Joshua on his radio show.

I don’t cry easily, but reading the letter from Josh’s dad brough tears to my eyes. Go read.
