Soldiers Say Goodbye to Orphans

Friday, 03 July 2009

FORWARD OPERATING BASE DELTA — Children from the Kut orphanage were treated to an evening of games, gifts and entertainment at the Rehanah Al-Haydaryah Family Park by 2nd Battalion, 20th Field Artillery Regiment, 41st Fires Brigade, June 26.

"It was an idea to have an event before the American forces left that they could say goodbye to the Iraqi children; and it should be in an open area like the park," said Ms. Nisreen Abdul Raoof, the director of the Kut orphanage.
