CMOC Kids

Here are some shots of the children out front this morning. The chaplain's assistant came out today and we helped hand out shoes, coloring books, and stuffed animals. These kids are just so cute that it breaks your heart not to be able to do more for them.

I hope that by the time they're teenagers this country will be well on its way to being a Middle Eastern powerhouse.








Cpl Toland of CMOC Guard hands out shoes. Don't let her smile fool you ... she's tough, and takes no flak from the Iraqi females.

This little girl looks like such an angel.



After I took the shot below, I showed this little guy the image on the screen on my digital camera. He was just mesmerized by it, looking at the screen, pointing at himself, smiling, and looking back at the screen. His sister, not so much.


She quickly tucked herself into the folds of mama's burkha.

I just loved finding your site Stingray!, you all keep up the good work!!!!, we posted your link to our blog cause we have a lot of good friends that would love to hear of your efforts in Fallujah.

This gives us regular folks a chance to see from your perspective, an inside view as it were, its much more respected than the evening news my friend, don't doubt that for a minute, lol.

We look forward to continued posts of your progress and daily lives. We send our thoughts love and prayers to you all, with hopes that this war will end and you will all be coming home soon.

I am a Public Affairs Officer out of US Central Command. This is an awesome story and I like the content of your blog. We are trying to get out these good stories. Can you please email me at pao@centcom.mil? I would like to ask you a couple of questions. I could not find any other contact information for you on the site. We are also looking for bloggers to post a CENTCOM link to their site. Thanks!

Every month or so, I drive by the Iwo Jima Memorial. I respect and honor you all, and I don't forget your sacrifices -- and I won't let my kids forget, either.

You may wish to check out my latest post (the PAO should already have seen it):

Stingray I just caught the Today show with Matt Lauer and was wondering if you were in that crowd we saw on tv?

Hi Stingray, I have just discovered your blog while blog-surfing, and I have put it on my favorites list, with the intention of transferring it to the side bar on my own blog. I am delighted to see this kind of information - I just wish the media around the world would put the good stuff to air instead of bad, bad, bad all the time. Our Prime Minister John Howard is under constant pressure to withdraw our troops from Iraq, and no matter how much he tries to explain they are there to help rebuild, there are always people to howl him down. You guys are great.
Gina in Australia.
