so a couple days ago i posted this and shortly there after started getting posts and emails from a number of different people who mentioned that they knew the individual in the photo. one of the emails included another photo of the individual and some detailed information, and asked me to post an update to that post and the new photo, which displays her name and rank clearly. originally i was excited by this and was going to do so, but after receiving additional emails from other people that claimed to know her, but that didn't jive with the first and that sounded "off", i unfortunately had to decide to just leave the post stand as it is. the post wasn't originally about that one individual specifically, she was just a symbol for alot of young people caught up in this, and my responsibility for the few that fall into my sphere of influence.

i apologize if this sounds like i'm pointing fingers at anyone, i'm not. i just feel that it's better to post nothing more, than to post something and have it be wrong or have it have a negative impact on her.

thanks for understanding.

It was still a Beautiful Post no matter what, so I understand...Thanks for sharing it not matter what had come out of your comments at the end!!! I'm sure it had touched all of our hearts just by seeing the picture, as it had touched mine!!!
You guys sure are strong!
We just lost a lot of Canadians last week and it's always hard on everyone...even when we hear that you guys have lost your Americans. We feel for you as well!!!
What you do is so touching and that picture was worth a million words!!!
Thanks Sean...

WOW...her name is Malinda...not so special, but it is when MY name is mAlinda, when most are mElinda...

Totally understand...just what you wrote was perfect in its original form, nothing more needed.

But...she reminds me of this week's Wednesday Hero...and...THIS PHOTO...

I too thought it was a wonderful post. It's good to see our men and women helping out and doing good, not matter how young they appear.
