Operation Little Iraqi Freedom

...is well underway. Dean Esmay went and expanded on my original post on the history of the First "Uncle Wiggles," in addition to some more info about a great (and cheap) way to get lots of toys to the Children of Iraq via the Second "Uncle (Chief) Wiggles."

Basic rules per the Chief's Orders: No toy guns or violent toys of any kind, no Barbie dolls or any scantilly-dressed doll, and nothing with batteries. (Crayons are iffy...they may melt. Water-based markers may be better.) Other than that, use your imagination. If you were a kid in a war-torn country, without power half the time, and living a day-to-day existence, and an American soldier came up to you and said, "here's something for you, kid," what would you like that thing to be? A stuffed animal? Some sidewalk chalk? Paper to make paper airplanes with? Maybe a hairbrush?

All together now!

Send it all to:

Chief Wiggles
CPA-C2, Debriefer
APO, AE 09335
*APO adresses count as US domestic mail (cheap!) but you will have to go to the post office and fill out a customs form.

Also, right now there is no PayPal or Amazon donation system set up, and they're not accepting any kind of checks or money order. Can anyone out there help?
