Christmas in Iraq


In an earlier blog post I mentioned U.S. Army Chaplain Steve Dunn and SPC Jonathon Kissam and their efforts to support an orphanage in Iraq. They even got some great ink in the Daytona Beach News-Journal and the Volusia Beacon.

Today we received these fantastic photos of our soldiers preparing to deliver toys and candy to the Iraqi kids. Donations came not only from Spirit of America, but also from 19 other organizations! A quote from SPC Kissam:

"Chaplain Dunn and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the support we have received. The past six months have been a glorious time for us because we get to see our Soldiers' faces light up when a gift is given. We cannot thank you enough for all the support and for giving your love behind every box sent to us. We got everything from school supplies for the Iraqi kids to hand warmers for our Aircrews, and everything in between. It is a great day when we can say that America still support our Soldiers."

Great job everyone!
