Treats, not Troops Needed in Iraq

Monday September 1, 2003
Boxes of treats and books, not more troops, is what some are saying soldiers deployed to Iraq need.

A Reserve officer currently serving in Iraq is trying to open a library in his area of operations to keep soldiers entertained. Romance novels, westerns, technology magazines and a gamut of other types of reading material are needed to round out the library. However, new is not a requirement. On another front, the spouse of a retired soldier has started Treats for Troops, Inc., an organization dedicated to getting treats sent to our troops.
