Fox News
A photo of an Afghan child sleeping on the cargo floor of a U.S. Air Force C-17 amid the chaos in the country has captured the hearts of all those concerned about Afghanistan's most vulnerable.
The jacket was reportedly borrowed from Airman First Class Nicolas Baron, a C-17 loadmaster, to help keep the child warm. "To the outstanding Airmen who have worked tirelessly and selflessly over the last several days evacuating Afghans, Americans and the vulnerable, I want to personally thank you for your sacrifices and applaud your bravery," Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. CQ Brown, Jr. tweeted along with the photo on Thursday. The photo has gone viral on social media as a symbol of the sometimes unseen victims of the political upheaval in the country.More Related News
