Mission ~ Iraq

These pictures of 'Friends in Far Away Places' were provided by Bonnie Larkin with the comments "Love these pictures. The soldiers outreached arms in the back ground seems so symbolic and the smile on the teachers face is awesome. The children at play is terrific as well" Note: these pictures were received from LTC 'Dee' Bleckley, U.S. Army ~ Department of State, U.S. Mission - Iraq ~ Project and Contracting Office (PCO) ~ Republican Presidential Compound ~ APO AE 09316 ~ (703) 343-9286/87/88 ~ Email: Dee.Bleckey@CPA-IQ.org b~ www.rebuilding-iraq.net

Webmaster's note: I received the following note with the preceeding pictures: "Bonnie Larkin asked for me to send you these pics of my husband. He is at an orphanage somewhere in Bagdad. Driving by one day, he noticed the boys had nothing, not one ball to play with. He arranged for our neighborhood to send 15 soccer balls, and everyone donated their past season sports shirts and other clothes. Good things really do happen over there! God bless you this holiday season! Lori"
