U.S. Troops Deliver Backpacks to School Children


ADIL, Iraq, Dec. 26, 2007 – The troops who provide a security situation that allows Iraqi children to attend school are helping those same children here get the most of that experience.

"I have always been a believer that when you are in school the only thing you should worry about is learning, and all teachers should be worried about is teaching, and they should be at least afforded a good building and plenty of supplies so they can focus on learning and not worry that they will run out of notebooks and pencils and that their building is falling apart,”
With the army enjoying the trust of local citizens, the soldiers can continue to reach out and conduct their security mission joint operations.
