Now, there is a new picture from Iraq.

The picture shows a U.S. soldier cradling a dying Iraqi child. He is rushing her to the hospital, trying desperately to save her life.

That soldier is Major Mark Bieger, a member of the Fort Lewis Stryker Brigade, with three young children of his own.

Major Bieger's three kids have no idea how deeply their father has touched millions through an extraordinary photograph. And, they have no idea how his love for them can be seen and felt in the way he's holding a dying Iraqi girl.

"He would take care of any other child that he saw in need just like he would his own," said Major Bieger's wife Amy.

When she first saw the picture, she had no idea the soldier was her husband.

His face is hidden.

Then she took a closer look.

"As I was looking I could see the rank on his chest," she said, "and then below the rank I could see the last four letters of our last name and right then I knew it was him."

A suicide bomber attacked Major Bieger's unit this week. There were children all around.

As the father of three grabbed the critically injured little girl, the freelance photographer who took the picture said he (Major Bieger) started running to get her to an Army hospital, stopping occasionally to try to comfort her.

Despite his heroic efforts, the little girl didn't make it.

"He was sad," his wife said, "he kept saying it was a very sad day, so I know that it tore him up."

Pictures of the Major with his wife and his three young boys are all over their Pierce County home.

They are pictures that tell the story of a loving family now separated by war.

Now, there is a new picture of that same man holding someone else's child like she was his own.

"Just, his heart's huge," Amy said, "and when he sees anyone in trouble or hurt, especially a child, I'm sure it makes him think of his own."

Major Bieger's wife said he was shocked when she told him she had seen the picture on the Internet and he was surprised it is receiving so much attention.
