The baby was later reunited with a parent.
According to a press release, the infant seen in the photo"took a liking to Sgt. Jaffe" and because they had developed a connection, Jaffe decided to hold the child during his break.
"I’m just a Marine, same as the men and women I serve besides, doing a job to try and help people and protect people," Jaffe said in a statement, according to the press release."It’s pretty grim out here and sad. I had an opportunity to show some humility and do something that was good for the soul."
The press release explained that the child was later brought to a nearby hospital and reunited with their father. No further updates on the family have been shared.
