Physician’s assistant Tom Lewandowski, from Company C, 205th Army Medical Battalion, provides care to an El Salvadoran during a medical assistance visit to San Vicente. This photo appeared on www.army.mil.
So you mean to tell me we're doing something besides die in Iraq? We have time to check the teeth of kids in El Salvador!?! This must be Rupublican propaganda. There's no way this can me real! There's going to be a draft, it can't be real! (No, I'm not serious.)
Just throwing another piece of American service out there.
Enjoy!
Photo will probably be photoshopped. Actual photo as appears on Democratic Underground, by way of example, will show medic extracting teeth from Iraqi prisoner. Just saying. Cynical, not me.

Posted by: An American Housewife at April 13, 2005 08:36 PMWhich has given me an idea. Let's start doing this once a week. A blog burst so to speak. Everyone coming up with a great story, and you know there are plenty out there, and blogging about them. What do you say?
Posted by: An American Hosuewife at April 13, 2005 08:37 PMActually, I've been doing this series for a while now. I used to do them daily but fell off track. They're really quick and easy to run with. You just pull an image from Army images or Navy images, copy the text, write a quick blurb and there you go.
I sort of stole the idea from Art Chrenkoff who's been doing a "good news from Iraq" series for about as long as I've been blogging.
Most of the real heart felt posts with motivation don't lend themselves to a scheduled plan. They usually surround themselves in a tragic event and you just can't pull those out of a hat.
If you want to start doing little "good news images" like this I don't have a copyright on free speech. (I live in the U.S. not Canada.) More power to you!
Every so often I Google - good news Iraq - and - good news Afghanistan - Amazing what is happening that the MSM does not see fit to print.
