We're decluttering our house, and I ran across a box of Beanie Babies. Our kids have a BUNCH of these things they will never play with again. Might they be something your guys could give to the Iraqi kids with whom y'all come in contact? We'll be glad to ship them to you.

Oh, you can't inflict a Beanie craze on those poor Iraqis!

Absolutley, Do you have the address? We just got a letter last night from a group in our home town about adopting some local schools. Our Battalion commander informed us that there are currently fourteen school projects for us to take over as the first rotation leaves. We will certainly get them into good hands.

I had another though if you havent mailed them yet. We went up north today and there were sooooo many kids out with the nice weather. I was thinking if you put them each in a ziplock with some candy I could put some in each vehicle of the convoy, and make a little parade for them as we go by. Just a thought.
