Patricia and Christine,

Thanks for your packages. Two of the Beanie Baby packages and care package have arrived. Still awaiting the last Beanie Baby Box.

I'm going on leave in a few day, but will distribute them when I get back.

I am a Black Hawk helicopter pilot, so I do most of my distro of gifts to the kids from the air....which doesn't leave much room for photos. But I plan on going to visit one of the local villages soon after my return. I'll try to get photos for you then.

Thank you so much for the thoughtfulness and generosity. I always try to tell people that just a small sign of kindness to a child in a "war zone" can be the difference between creating either another friend, or another foe. You project helps us make many more friends both from the children that will grow-up and their parents who can see the generosity of you through our Soldiers.

Thanks again and I hope to get you pictures soon,

Aric Raus
