Our soldiers find a humanitarian need, and the American people fill it. Not only does this build good day-to-day relations, but the next generation of Iraqi leaders may be some of these children who will remember the courage, honor and kindness of our soldiers who are representing us.

I can see the NYT headline now....

“American soldiers terrorize Iraqi children with American toys!”

I flew back home from Baltimore’s BWI Airport this morning, and as we were waiting our turn to board in Coach, the gate keeper announced that the 20 or so AF personnel in the lounge would be boarding the flight ahead of the rest of us as a way to thank them for their service. Everyone in the seating area clapped a good long time for the airmen. It was touching to see.

Anybody have that video from maybe two years ago, where they dropped soccer balls out of a helicopter? It looked like it had the potential to go wrong, but it worked out fine. The kids were kicking it around before the helicopter was out of range. Pretty cool video.
