This year, the kids did their own project. Some bring tears to your eyes.

I tried to get as many administrators and principals as possible and sent out 20 to 25 e-mails. The next day I had at least 10 responses and everyone was so positive.

It started because of a colleague of Bill’s from Texas. What they did was adopt a unit in Iraq and last year they sent boxes of fully decorated Christmas trees.

It’s a great thing that the company does this and it’s a great time to remember them. We often remember them at the holidays and Veterans Day, but in the long, cold days of February...

Teachers said they were able to open up whole new discussions just by doing this project.
