Dalal, an 8-year-old girl from Iraq's Anbar province, was escorted to Baghdad, along with her father, by U.S. Special Forces members so they could catch a free flight to Amman, Jordan, where Dalal received surgery July 23 to correct a life-threatening congenital heart defect. Special operations forces played a major role in arranging travel so Dalal and her father could make the trip to Jordan. Photo by Air Force Master Sgt. Melissa Phillips
FALLUJAH, Iraq (American Forces Press Service, Aug. 3, 2007) - Even though she's surrounded by war, Dalal is not much different from other children her age. She likes jump-rope and Cinderella and enjoys reading and drawing. Her favorite classes are religion and language, and she recently completed second grade -- earning perfect marks in all her studies. But, unlike many of her peers, the 8-year-old Iraqi girl also has fought a life-threatening battle from within since birth.
Due to the efforts of a U.S. Special Forces medic and an Army civil affairs noncommissioned officer, all of that changed recently, and Dalal was granted a new lease on life.
