I didn't have a worry in the world. Stationed in Kosovo since Dec. l to help in the peacekeeping effort, I have seen shockingly bad living conditions. The people are in great distress. Kosovo has been ravaged by war for decades, so bombed-out buildings fill the landscape.
Garbage lines the roads like a guardrail.
As a part of our peacekeeping effort, my company has adopted a school. Our mission is to acquire children's clothing and school supplies for these unfortunate children, whom I have seen. I would like to share an image I will never forget with your readers. One hazy morning I set out with a few other soldiers to an elementary school to hand out clothes. When we arrived, we saw kids from first through eighth grades running around playing.
