Medics assigned to forward operating base Mehtar Lam pose for a photo with Afghan citizen Noor Ahmad July 20, after they presented him with the custom-made bed. 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.
