"Chief Wiggles" launches Toys for Iraqi Children drive
2003-09-23
Hopefully the Chief will be deluged--he’s going out a limb to help foment goodwill between our nation and the children who will someday grow up to run a free Iraq.

Just imagine some little Iraqi boy (or girl!) who receives a donated toy from the hands of an American soldier, and who may grow up to become president of a free Iraq someday. That child may not comprehend what we’re doing to give him a solid infrastructure, medical care, education, or future just yet, but the memory of that soldier giving him what becomes his favorite toy will stick in his mind for the rest of his life and have a profound influence on how he views America throughout his formative years. That child is out there somewhere right now.

Of course, the raw, happy joy a child can get from a toy is a pretty damn important consideration, too! Help ensure the Chief can reach them all!

#2  Fred--on the formatting, that's all my text. I didn't include anything from Chief Wiggles's site but the link. I don't want anyone to attribute to him my weak attempt to wax poetic. :-)

#1  I absolutely agree! You can give for the humanitarian aspect of it. Or you can give for the sake of our troops and our future in America! Iraqi kids who play with toys, don't play with guns or grenades! And when they grow up, they don't support Al-Qaeda! No matter what your position on the war itself, this is the right thing to do!
