BAGHDAD, IRAQ – SEPTEMBER 27: An Iraqi orphan kicks a football for the first time during a American football skills camp run by U.S. soldiers September 27, 2003 at the al-Taleba stadium in Baghdad, Iraq. About 70 orphans from two local orphanages participated in the camp, which was organized by members of the 800th U.S. Military Police Brigade and the U.S. Army 422 Civil Affairs Battalion. In addition to learning how to play the game, the children were also served lunch and given shirts, hats and souvenirs adorned with the logos of three American football teams, the Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, and Green Bay Packers.
