Beanies for Baghdad,

Once again thank you and your supporters for all of your assistance.
Here are a few pictures of happy Iraqi children receiving toys, candy
and compassion from our Task Force. Thank you for providing us with the
means to not only bless the children of Iraq, but even more so for
providing opportunity for our Soldiers to be blessed through giving to
others.

We have several HA assistance missions on the horizon and would
appreciate your continued support.

Beanies for Baghdad,

I want to thank you and your contributors once again for all your
generosity. Schools have just started here in Iraq and we have used your
contributions in several Humanitarian Assistance missions to build
better relations between Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) and their local
communities. Our Soldiers still take part in these missions (as you can
see from the pictures) but are assisting the ISF in these efforts. What
a tremendous blessing it is to be able to help in such a manner.

With you donations we were able to distribute school supplies to over
800 Iraqi children!!!

Thank you for blessing us with the means to bless others.

May God continue to bless you in all that you do.

In Joy,

CH (CPT) TIM BEHNKE
