Medics assigned to forward operating base Mehtar Lam transport a bed to the front gate for Afghan citizen Noor Ahmad, July 20. The bed was designed and built for Ahmad’s son, Samir, 3, who was injured last year by a convoy and treated by medics. Laghman Provincial Reconstruction Team medics recognized the child’s need for a safe place to sleep. Medical technician, Air Force Senior Airman John Fitzgerald worked with a local contractor to design and build a bed that would prevent the boy from falling as he sleeps.
