I was surprised when I found this site because it involves our unit. Something that started as simple as giving some Iraqi kids a soccerball has inspired a much larger movement of kindness. In fact just the other day I counted 18 large boxes of toys that arrived. As we go out on missions, we drop the boxes off in small communities where children are present. The guys who started it all were moved when they saw the result on the childrens' lives. Everyday the children could be seen out in the field kicking the soccerball around. When the soldiers shared the story with their families, the idea quickly spread. It's to bad there aren't more stories like this about Iraq on the news. The truth is there are stories like this happening all over Iraq and most Iraqis show friendship and happiness towards Americans. They are easy to find, the reporters just aren't looking for them.
If you want to pass on the story of the Toy Bombers, please do a post on your own blog with a link to their site so more people can know about stories like these.
