OMG, this was indeed powerful! Makes you angry and leaves you very sad that there are people who would feel justified in inflicting such cruelty -- on anyone, but particularly on a child...

I'll also be back to check the Kevin Sites site.  Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Here's another one:

Rakan's war
This is a story about a boy, and a war. About hatred and healing, pain and longing. About redemption, or the dream of it. About going home, even when home is just about the most dangerous place on earth. But mostly it's about a boy. His name is Rakan. He is 12 years old. He got shot in Iraq. And for five months, a medical team in Boston tried to put him back together again.
