He was a young boy living in Iraq when he caught the eye of a major in the Michigan Army National Guard.The boy's mother took off his cap and exposed his disfigured head."Will you save me?" the boy, then 11, said to Maj. David Howell.Five months later, Howell got Mohammed a visa, a passport and a commitment from surgeons at Michigan State University that they would help the boy. Mohammed has since received thousands of dollars in free medical care, giving him a lot to be thankful for during his first Thanksgiving in America.His story is one of both the gratefulness of a boy and the remarkable commitment of a Michigan National Guardsman, who went off to fight a war and ended up repaying a debt and freeing a child from wounds of his youth. It is also about a boy who has made others feel blessed to have joined his journey. (less info)
