Please read it - tears are OK:

As you know, I asked for toys for the Iraqi children over here and several people (Americans that support us) sent them over by the box. On each patrol we take through the city, we take as many toys as will fit in our pockets and hand them out as we can.  The kids take the toys and run to show them off as if they were worth a million bucks.  We are as friendly as we can be to everyone we see, but especially so with the kids.  Most of them don’t have any idea what is going on and are completely innocent in all of this.
