Lance Cpl. Edwin S. Contreras, 19, an assaultman from Pico Rivera, Calif., assigned to 3rd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 5, gives an Iraqi boy a lollipop March 29 in Hit, Iraq. Marines with I Company occasionally take candy on their patrols to hand out to the local children. Many Marines said they believe making the kids in the city happy helps show the families that they are there to help. (Photo/Cpl. Erik Villagran)
