MAJOR STUART ADAM WOLFER INSTITUTE
APRIL 23, 1971 - APRIL 6, 2008
KIA - BAGHDAD, IRAQ
Stuart was an active member of the Green Zone Council (GZC) Boy Scouts/Girl Guides Troop in Baghdad. Stuart believed that the future leadership of Iraq depended on grooming the youth of today to be the country's leaders of tomorrow. Stuart hoped to put in place a program that would allow Iraqi and US Boy/Girl Scout Troops to interact as penpals and ultimately become friends. The Institute hopes to make Stuart's dream a reality as we continue to work with the GZC over the coming months.

March 8th was another great day with the Iraqi Boy Scouts and Girl Guides! Today they went to the 86TH Combat Support Hospital to visit with wounded coalition forces and local nationals. Everyone at the hospital was very excited and this was an excellent opportunity for the Iraqi children to interact with soldiers and locals. The children handed out Trails End Popcorn which was graciously donated. Everyone shared laughs and smiles!! Afterwards the children ate lunch that was provided by the hospital dinning facility, and were allowed to play around in a FLA (military ambulance) and finally played games! There were many games available including a piñata, stuffed animals, Frisbees and footballs. The children were so excited and enjoyed tossing around the toys and taking the stuffed animals home with them! It was truly a great day for all involved, and a memory that will last a lifetime!!!
