SKHARTIAT, Iraq — Wish as he might, Capt. Jon Christensen can't cure them all. But if nothing else, he can help alleviate their discomfort.

Time and again, the 36-year-old physician's assistant and his crew of medics from 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery, 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division visit impoverished towns and villages that pepper Ninevah Province to bring medical supplies and knowledge that, if even for a short time, dissolve the aches of arthritis, burden of birth defects, hurt of heart disease.

Read it! It's a decent article about the medical mission in Iraq and how much we are actually helping there!
