He handed out the HUGS to Iraqi soldiers.....

I appreciate the care package as well as those that were around me. I just got back in to Kuwait after being in Iraq for a while and I was so happy to see the care packages and letters waiting for me as soon as I stepped in. I didn't get any pictures this time but I promise I will do so in the future. I just had enough time to sign for them, open em, and leave them for the soldiers to pick through while I left to unload my gear. Even though I just got back in I'll be heading out again shortly. Ill be sure to hand the cooling cloths to the Iraqi soldiers so they can hand them out to the locals. I'm sorry that I don't have much interaction with the actual children like my last tour but I really hope this will suffice. When I was in Iraq I did get to sit down and enjoy the day of Eid with them (last day of rammadan). Thank you so much for your support and I'll see if I can get some pictures tomorrow. I'm sure the care packages will be getting picked through tomorrow then :)
