Beanie Babies Can Be Enlisted in War Effort

Re “Another ‘90s Bad Dream,” Aug. 26:

Readers who would like to unload their collections of Beanie Babies should log on to www.anysoldier.us. There they can find out how to send their Beanie Babies to our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, who are taking these donated Beanie Babies on their trips to villages to “win the hearts and minds” of the locals.

Readers just might want to send our troops a treat or two while they’re at it.
