This soldier is looking right at you from a dusty room somewhere overseas.
You probably just sat down on your couch. Maybe you are waiting in your car for the heater to warm up. Your day is normal and mostly comfortable.
She is standing in a space with a doorway that has no door. The wind just blows right through. The last thing she ate that was actually warm was likely a basic ration hours ago.
Our troops live in these quiet gaps between the busy moments. She is out there right now, doing her job, looking at a screen just like you are.
Play the clip again. Look at her face just before she asks you to hit follow. There is a tiny hesitation there. It is a real person asking for a very small connection.
She knows you did not open this app to find her. But she is asking for one second. Just a quick hello to make their week.
It is a simple request from a soldier who is far away tonight. 🫡 Comment below if you watched this more than once.
