At the request of the 401st CA Bn., the magazines and books were donated by friends, families and libraries.
"We contacted our friends and relatives who in turn contacted doctor's offices. They [the doctors] were more than happy to donate. If the Iraqi's request more, we will make contact with our sources back in the states," said Stuart.
