A Big "Thumbs Up" for these Minnesota Daycare Kids

The war in Iraq is today's most controversial issue, and I'm not going to touch it on this blog. I'll just say this - whether one supports our presence there or not, one can't deny that our troops need love, encouragement, and support from all of us back here at home.

I ran across this story, and I'm very happy that Kid's Company is giving these children an opportunity to encourage all of the men & women in Iraq who miss their homes:

Students send thanks to U.S. troops

It's very cool to see these children express their thanks and support. 100 children sending 130 cards may seem like small consolation - but I'll bet that hundreds of soldiers are touched by these messages from home.

As adults, I hope that we can separate our political views from this base fact: Our troops are hungry for encouragement & support from home.

Good job to all involved in making this effort happen up in Minnesota. We're grateful for your efforts!
