Today I received three packages full of candy and a bunch of cards from your neighborhood kids. Thank you so much! My team enjoyed the cards from the kids. Once we're done with them, I'll take the cards up to our base morale and welfare center so other soldiers will be able to enjoy them as well. The candy will be put to good use and be given to Iraqi children in our area. Our team does "drive-bys" when we're out on patrols, throwing the candy out from our gunners' hatches. We're trying to get the Iraqi battalion we advise to do the same thing. The kids here love it.
I've attached a few pictures that you may like to share with the kids who made the cards. Even though it happens all the time, it's proven difficult for me to get a video of some of these kids as they're sprinting up to the road, waving, and jumping all around in hopes of getting some candy from us. Once I get something that will work, I'll send a copy your way
Thanks for all the support!
