MARCH 7, 2006 -- U.S. Marines just back from Iraq came to Wilmington Tuesday to say thanks for the care.
The thank you's were said at a meeting of the Rotary Club. The club sponsored a year-long effort to collect and ship supplies to members of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing stationed in Iraq. They sent the Marines nearly three and a half tons of items such as snacks, soap, sunscreen and coffee.
Not only did the Rotary Club help the Marines, they also sent along beanie babies for the troops to give to Iraqi children.
