The Mudville Gazette is the on-line voice of an American warrior and his wife who stands by him. They prefer to see peaceful change render force of arms unnecessary. Until that day they stand fast with those who struggle for freedom, strike for reason, and pray for a better tomorrow.

Operation Give

[Greyhawk]

Following a long tradition among US military folks, Chief Wiggles has launched Operation Give, which is described thusly on their website:

Operation Give was founded as a not-for-profit corporation in answer to a call from a soldier stationed in Iraq, known affectionately as Chief Wiggles. His request? To send toys and other goods to help the children he encountered every day in Iraq. Operation Give is grass-roots, non-partisan, volunteer-driven, and non-political. All we want to do is help children of Iraq in their recovery from years of depredation, and make the world a better place.
Our main coordinator in Iraq is the man who created this project, Chief Wiggles (who is, indeed, a real person). We are also inspired by an earlier American military man, Gail Halvorsen, also known as Uncle Wiggle Wings.

If you have toys or other appropriate goods you want to send to Iraq, we can help you figure out how to get them there. If you want to give money, we'll use your money to ship more kid stuff to Iraq. If you have an organization that would like to help promote our efforts, we can help you with that as well.

So I must ask you, dear reader, why are you here when you should be there?
