My wrenching heart…this should not be happening in the 21st century.
The photo of the infant in Yemen rips my heart out and I am not one with ‘soft’ hearted propensities. Few images in my life have had as profound an effect on me as the one of that poor child. Should anyone ever again ask why it is America tries to help others around the world. I’ll place this image in my minds eye as a guide to frame my reply.
