Too bad the networks don't show our guys helping, interfacing with and playing with the locals. Those are some great pictures. It is always so inspiring to see those pics with the soldiers and kids--with smiles on their faces. Those Psyc Ops guys are laying the groundwork for a solid future for Iraq. It is a slow process.

To get this kind of stuff you have to surf Free Republic or watch Neil Cavuto!

Thanks! I am not sure what the monkey is doing in his backpack. Probably has something to do with the youth program they have started. He may be handing them out to kids.

This is true. It might be a good luck charm. It might also be from his family.
