Another thing I've been sending my service person is M&M's in the little individual packets, eyedrops, chap-stick, also sent some small stuffed animals, and a soccer ball.

I read our soldiers are teaching the young Iraqi boys to play soccer, thereby giving them something useful and fun to do.

I read our soldiers are teaching the young Iraqi boys to play soccer, thereby giving
them something useful and fun to do.

Well, given space&weight considerations, I had thought about sending a Frisbee.
Also, I thought of sending (2 pairs!) some juvenile-sized soccer gloves...thinking the
school might have the soccer ball, but need the gloves as a crucial bit of equipment for
the poor goalie.
