Little Faces

Here are some of our dear Thugs delivering school supplies for a school in "_____" Iraq. It is surreal to see these children race to our guys. They are decked out head to toe with body armour and ammuniton, yet they all want to crawl on them and get hugs. I am awaiting some fibers in the mail to loop on brads and string from the comment to the subject. At the top It says "sweet gazes of awe" and it will point to the two children on either side of the guy at the top. To the bottom left there is a boy gazing in the opposite direction, it says "this one wonders what the big deal is" and at the bottom, the fair haired child is looking up at Wendell and the comment says "is he saluting Wendell? Or shielding his eyes from the sun. I wanted to put the name of the school on the bottom left, but I will later. This is a school that the locals do not know was built with coalition forces. It was all Iraqi labor, and all Iraqi engineers, but it was not Iraqi money and if they know that someone might make it go boom.
