Following is an e-mail from a representative of the 25th Infantry Division, to Dr. Bill Reid who teaches Honors Ethics and Leadership at West Johnston High School. The Division received a shipment of backpacks for school children in Afghanistan. The backpacks were purchased with money the students raised--approximately $2,200 on the school children's behalf. Dear Mr. Reid and Helpers, We would like to thank you for all of the help that you have given to the children of Afghanistan. We have used you bags that you have sent us to supply children who would have never had them otherwise. We want you to have the chance to actually see the end result of all of the hard work that you have done. I have sent you a couple of pictures of one of the schools that have received you bags. Again we would like to thank you for your giving nature and your ability to share a piece of what you have with children who have almost nothing. Your actions have made a big impact, and I am sure that the children here will never forget your kindness. SGT Hodges
