Still new here but I had to comment on this post. Glad to hear your nephew is home. Please tell him thank you for his service.
I was reading the posts previous to his coming home and I read about sending things for the kids. If you know someone in the military over there ask if they are passing things out. In some areas they are not allowed to pass anything out because the kids crowd around them and then they become targets. I think it is so sad for the children and the US military that are trying to help them. I know it could make a big difference on how these kids think of the US when they grow up by how they are treated. Maybe that is why they now have become targets, because those who target them dont want them to remember how the US gave them fun things, or much needed things or ect.... Sorry, got on a roll here.
