You must be an idiot. Did you bother reading the story, or do you just have so much hatred for those who have taken an oath to protect our country?

Kudos to the members of the 1st Cav who took time out of thier day to make this a special time for this sick boy.

As for you Wendy5, crawl back into your hole.

I pray for the best for this brave young man fighting his own private battle with a dreadful disease. Bravo Zulu to "Make A Wish" Foundation and the 1st Cavalry. No one stands so tall a one who kneels to help a child. BZ also to the doctors and medical staff who are providing the best possible treatment the can. Great story!
