Medics assigned to forward operating base Mehtar Lam pose for a photo with the custom bed they designed and built for Afghan citizen Noor Ahmad July 18. The bed was designed and built for Ahmad’s son, Samir, 3, who was injured last year by a U.S. convoy and treated by U.S. medics. Laghman Provincial Reconstruction Team medics recognized the child’s need for a safe place to sleep. Medical technician, U.S. Air Force Senior Airman John Fitzgerald from Escondido, Calif., worked with a local contractor to design and build a bed that would prevent the boy from falling as he sleeps.
