HOPE IRAQI KIDS HAVE CANDY CHILDHOOD OF HERS
“With my promotion and birthday, I don’t need anything except candy for Iraqi kids”.””I really wish Iraqi kids live a same beautiful place as my hometown Washington state.”…Specialist Conners told me and other peers.
Almost American teens like candy very much and grow up with it. Actually the candy is a part of their life. Also Specialist Conners is and the candy is still her favorite till now. And she really didn’t like others share candy with her. But it’s water under bridge while she deployed to Kirkuk base, Iraq on Nov last year. She gives up enjoying candy and collects it for Iraqi kids.
Specialist Conners was researching as a ESU soldier at a checkpoint outside of Kirkuk, Iraq when she noticed a little girl waved at her. She waved back and she began to think about the Iraqi children. She thought –the kids –they’re in a bad situation, It’s not their fault they’re in a war torn country and they lack the basic necessities.
She memorized American teens like candy very much and she found out the Iraqi kids like it too. So made decision to help Iraqi kids and make them happy.give up candy for herself, buy it from PX,ask it from her comrades, get it from her mail package which her family sends.etc.two month ago she told her comrades when she got promotion to Specialist “nothing for me except some candy for Iraqi lids. “she did exactly what she said in both thoughts, and in taking action. she is used to pass the candy to Iraqi kids through their parents. Many local nations said they loved her and were proud of taking photos with her.
“she is doing something good for the community, and that’s always a good thing. “said SSGT xxx who is the Ncos in charge of her section.
Specialist Conners also work at warehouse as a provider. “when everybody else worried about security, Specialist Conners noticed the children and started this operation to help.”FSC xxx who is in charge in her platoon said.
