The one thing you learn about soldiers early in your service is they will always find a way to make do with what they have.

We got an absolute ton of boxes from home. We had asked our families and friends to send gifts we could deliver to the many local villages we were supporting with civil affairs support. The response was incredible.

Throughout the month we made our way out to a number of our villages to hand out the many toys and gifts we had gotten. Usually we brought schools supplies or winter clothes as it cooled in Ninewa. This time was just for fun.
