School Supplies for Iraqi Kids

Update: We raised $345.00 for school supply purchase.

Thank you to all who contributed to this worthy project. We raised $345.00 including a $50.00 donation from the Yorktown, VA Walmart. We purchased 2 shopping carts of school supplies and mailed them to the squadron on Mar 3rd.

Linda Moss, a retired teacher and wife of former Trp Cdr Mel Moss, graciously volunteered to purchase and ship the supplies to CSM Stout.

The December newsletter contained an article from CSM Stout requesting school supplies be sent to the squadron in Iraq to support their efforts to equip local Iraqi elementary school children with much needed school supplies. School is back in session and they need pencils, crayons, markers, colored pencils, pens, erasers, glue, and paints.

A former trooper has suggested that we collect funds, purchase, and ship school supplies to CSM Stout to support the squadron's effort. As a start he has donated $100 towards the purchase of school supplies. Our goal is to buy school supplies and pay for shipping them to Iraq.

If you desire to, you can send supplies yourself to CSM Stout at this address:
