What you see here is typical of greedy Iraqi children. You throw one piece of candy to a kid from your Stryker and a mob immediately forms. They then proceed to fight over that one piece of candy or whatever you throw out. It really becomes a mob though, especially if you pull a soccer ball out. If they don't get something, they want a dollar. Giving to the parents generally goes over much better. They seem to appease the mob of kids much better. So, on this day of thanks, what am I thankful? I am thankful for all of you, your continued care for the well-being of me and my soldiers. I'm also thankful for warm water. I had my first warm shower in weeks. Cold showers get old very quickly.
