Group Seeks Teddy Bears for Military Kids

Thursday September 25, 2003
It's not easy being a kid whose mom or dad is deployed overseas to a combat zone. It can be confusing and lonely, and sometimes, downright scary. That's why a California-based nonprofit group wants to put into every affected military child's hands that quintessentially American yet internationally understood symbol of comfort and friendship: the teddy bear.

Family service centers are so enthusiastic about the program that they've already requested another 6,500 teddy bears -- but Operation TeddyCare has no bears left to donate, and needs your help.
