Beanies for Baghdad

Winning the hearts and minds, one child at a time. This is from Army news:

What started as an attempt to get one child to smile turned into a project that helps Soldiers build positive bonds with the Iraqi people as well as the children who are Iraq’s future.“This helps form the beginning of friendships between the children and the Soldiers,” said Donna Ward, Beanies for Baghdad project manager. “The hope for a better tomorrow is found in the children of Iraq.”“We’re hoping to see an entire new generation of Iraqis who trust that we are their friends and that we’re here to help them.” said Capt. Darrell Retheford, C-490th CA Batt.
