American Grass in Iraq

I got this in an email.........thanks Dotty!!

Here is a soldier stationed in Iraq , stationed in a big sand box.  He asked his wife to send him dirt ( U.S. soil), fertilizer, and some grass seed so that he can have the sweet aroma, and feel the grass grow beneath his feet.  When th e men of the squadron have a mission that they are going on, they take turns walking through the grass and the American soil -- to bring them good luck.
