Spread the word, kids! We're the good guys.
Imagine telling that kid those two water bottles are unconstitutional.
A touching picture. Thanks. Check out the Spiderman on the right.
I'm glad we have people on the ground. Just giving $$ to the UN won't educate these kids that we are the good guys.

"exnavychick" = Now SAHM - you are doing the most important job now - but thanks anyway for your past Navy service!
Well put.
I think the Spiderman kid is doing the Vulcan 'live long and prosper' salute.
Some happy and proud lookin' fellas. I hope they remember the good guys.
I'm glad we can help these folks -- especially the kids.
I've seen John Kerry's limp-wristed salute at the convention last summer -- the kid in foreground knows how to salute far better than Kerry.
I don't know if that's realistic or not, but I hope so too.
Good photos. I'm glad we can help these kids. Makes me proud to be American.
It's wonderful to see them smiling.
