Aiding Our Troops
A
s the war that was supposed
to be swift continues to
escalate in Iraq, those of us at
home feel helpless as we watch
the endless news reports of 'Dit-
ties and casualties. Regardless of
our feelings about U.S. involve-
ment before-the war started, now
KERI
most of us turn our thoughts to
GUTEN
the troops and what we can do
COHEN
to support them.
Story
We also turn to our religious
Development
leaders for guidance. We turn to
Editor
prayer for comfort. We look for
tangible ways to make a differ-
ence.
At Temple Emanu-El, a cookie drive has
turned into a call to action (story begins on
page 12). Hundreds of boxes of goodies, each
packed with a handmade note of thanks and
encouragement, will be shipped to troops in
Iraq via Selfridge Air National Guard Base.
Elsewhere, others are donating blood or sending
e-mails of support overseas.
This week, as we grope for ways to help, JN
staff writers are suggesting options. As other
projects surface in the community, let us know
and we'll gladly share the information.
