Operation Give: Sending smiles to Iraq one toy at a time
Please consider supporting this awesome program. We have so much to give, and these people have so little.

Thanks for this tip, Scott. I just posted on a similar vein and my kids just boxed up a BUNCH of their toys to children who don't have any toys. This is where that box will go! Iraq, prepare for an influx of teddy bears, Hot Wheels cars and plastic dinosaurs!
sounds like a great cause, Scott. Here's another:
Yellow ribbons tied around trees and red, white and blue stickers on the backs SUVs saying "Support our Troops" are things that make civilians feel good but do nothing for the men and women actually in uniform.
So please consider the following:
The number ONE request at Walter Reed hospital is phone cards. The government doesn't pay long distance phone charges and these wounded soldiers are rationing their calls home.
Many will be there throughout the holidays.
Really support our troops --Send phone cards of any amount to:
Medical Family Assistance Center
Walter Reed Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20307-5001
They say they need an "endless" supply of these -- any amount even $5 is greatly appreciated.
Walmart has good prices on AT&T cards, Sams Club is even better, if you are a member.
I am sure you would feel better about doing this, than to buy something for a third cousin, that would find it on the closet shelf six months later, and wonder where it came from.
Just thought I'd post this here as a PSA. Really a cool thing.
