There are few things that are more representative of why or how to Support Our Troops than Beanies For Baghdad. Set up by a Soldier, this organization is designed as a means to put toys in the hands of Troops who get the pleasure of putting them in the hands of kids in Iraq and Afghanistan. While this may not seem like the most direct means of Troop Support, there are few things a Troop likes more than bringing a smile to a kids face.
That parents everywhere enjoy seeing their kids smile and that brings a smile to their face as well means that not only is it beneficial to the morale of Our Troops and a benefit to kids, but also increases good will towards Our Nation and Our Troops.
These folks are always upbeat and selfless. Meanwhile, you can support their efforts while cleaning out the toybox of your house. This is such a great cause that even the original maker of Beanie Babies has gotten on board, but that doesn't mean they don't still have a role for you and a place for those old toys your kid no longer plays with.
