Chief Wiggles reports that the first toys of the toy drive have arrived in Iraq.
Plunge, the Chief's stateside assistant, reports:
Further update: The Chief mentions that he is working with a children's hospital, orphanages and schools to distribute the items. The Chief is only using people that he is personally familiar with so that all the toys and school supplies will go where they should and will not end up on the black market. He has also arranged for storage depending on how much arrives. I think it is finally starting to sink in just how much people care and the effort that is being put forth.
A quote from his email to me, "I couldn't believe how much thought and effort has gone into the selection of items. I was totally blown away by the nature of the toys, even a large Tonka truck, small trucks, school supplies, stuffed animals, etc."
"Let everyone know how much I appreciate all they are doing."
