"All soldiers I know have a heart for the kids in Iraq and for the suffering they have gone through. Many of our greatest efforts have gone toward helping them live a better life, whether it is rebuilding their schools, giving them toys and candy, getting them proper medical attention, or simply playing games with them. My hope for Iraq lies in the next generation. Through the efforts of some amazing soldiers, I believe a seed has been planted that will one day bloom into a mass of young children raised on knowing the kindness and gentleness of American soldiers. When that time comes I believe we will finally enjoy the fruits of our labor in the Middle East."
Thanks for posting
If there is any great and lasting hope to be found in Iraq, it's found in those kids. I've swapped a little e-mail with Mike Yon...although it's been awhile. He was pretty talkative up until the time that his work gained more visibility and he got BUSY. But I sent him a message about this...we'll see what he says. :-)
