Just unpacked my son's backpack and found this flyer and it really made me upset. We have several families at the school who have husbands/brothers/sisters/fathers in Iraq and apparently the soldiers do not have enough of these items and need them now:
Writing Materials to write home
Non-melting sweets (for quick energy)
Coffee
Nuts (or other protein items)
Socks
Batteries
Books
Visine
Medicated Foot Powder
It's bad enough that we are also trying to collect money to have the essentials in our school, but this really angers me that our soldiers aren't being given adequate supplies and the Bush Administration is relying on elementary children to collect and send these items to Iraq.
