MOSUL, IRAQ (December 16, 2005)-Soldiers from Task Force Freedom distributed a truckload of over 40 large boxes of gifts to Iraqi children at St. George’s Church in the Bartella neighborhood Dec. 14.
About 300 kids were seen smiling with hands full of new clothes, toys, soccer balls, basketballs, and numerous other treasures. Children were also excited about receiving keepsake McDonald’s toys. Not one child left the church empty-handed.
“Our biggest success was being able to share toys and other gifts with everyone. No child was left out,” said Chaplain’s Assistant SFC John Wright.
Children also eagerly stood in line as Soldiers handed them blankets and individual care packages. Multi-National Forces will continue to provide aid to Iraqi citizens as the rebuilding process continues.
