Here's a simple yet meaningful way to help some kids in Iraq. Bryan Suits was a talk host on KVI in Seattle. His reserve unit was called up and sent to Iraq, and he talks to KVI frequently. Recently, when asked what he needed, he asked that people send him children's rain boots for the kids in the villages in his area. I myself went to Goodwill and bought 5 pairs of kid's boots to send to Bryan. It was cheap and will help some kids a lot.

Awesome! It says wool socks. Living in AZ I'm not used to seeing wool socks. Any suggestions?

I went to the local thrift store, Value Village and picked up all they had for kids boots, 2 pair. Were in really good shape, total cost about $7. Also bought some wool blend socks @ Costco and sent those and other soldier specific goodies, candy, beef jerkey etc to Lt. Suits last week. Will be sending another package either today or next week.
