Local drive will aid Iraqi children

Patrick Fisher, Staff Writer

A New Prague couple is hoping people in the area will help in aiding children that are half a world away.

Sherry Valley and her husband, First Sergeant John Valley, are asking that people provide basic school and medical supplies to children in Iraq.

John, with the 454th Transportation Company in northern Iraq, notified her by email of the 71st Combat Support Battalion’s (CSB) humanitarian assistance program of Helping Build the Future for Iraq’s Children.
