Time Marches On--Even In Afghanistan

Do you recall the young girl from Afghanistan who graced the cover of National Geographic in 1984? The war with the Soviets was tearing the country apart and the US was in sympathy with the plight of the Afghani's.

The photograph of this young lady illustrated what it was all about by tugging at our hearts.
