Operation Desert Shield RAF Soldier John Peters' Viral Photo

This image of John Peters (RAF) came out in 1988. He was beaten after his plane was shot down in Desert Storm (or was it called Desert Shield then?). I had this photo on my fridge for several years and prayed for him and his comrades. I hadn't thought of him in years, then remembered it must be near the 25th anniv. I researched and found that he is well. Glad to hear it, John.
