Staff Sgt. Robert Butler, from Excelsior Springs, Mo., the platoon sergeant for Headquarters Platoon, 1-15th Infantry Regiment, extends a hand to a child in Salman Pak. "You never know what small thing will have a huge impact when they remember us," he said. "The 12-year-old we interact with today will be 17 in five short years and he'll have a choice. Will he be the one digging up an IED, or will he be the one to emplace one? I want him to make the decision to dig it up."
