Harstine Island: Bringing cheer to sands of Iraq By JOHN COOPER Roger Van Parys, a Harstine Is- lander giving civilian help to our armed forces in Iraq has sent us another e-mail. Although he and those who are working with him are miles away in a land where the prevailing culture is much differ- ent from ours, customs familiar to us do appear. He calls it "Christ- mas in the sandbox." He wrote: "Well the Christmas spirit has arrived here in the war zone. Artificial trees are appearing in the cubicles and strings of orna- ments are strung over the aisles and tethered to stacked battle gear. It is a somewhat surreal en- vironment." Van Parys informs us that the care packages are arriving with all sorts of "cookies and/or crumbles" courtesy of the mail handlers "and there are stockings hanging and awaiting Saint Nick's visit. It is quite nostalgic in a macabre sort of way." He wrote: "The mess hall, that elegant eatery, featuring parched pork and charred chicken, is all alight with festive trimming and flashing red and green lights. As I am writing this I can hear someone whistling 'Oh Come All Ye Faithful' down the hall. Now he may be whistling 'Adeste Fideles,' but my Latin is a bit rusty. All in all' Tis the Season To Be Jolly.'" WITH ALL THAT decoration making things "look a lot like Christmas" Roger feels a lot like Saint Nick and may play Santa in his way: "Every year at home we give the postman and other service suppliers a small gift at Christ- mas. This year I decided to contin- ue the tradition here with three of my service favorites." His favorites are: the janitor who sweeps up all the dead flies that get swatted on a daily basis; the laundry man who never smiles but doesn't smash his buttons; and the sewage pump (Please turn to 26.)

Harstine Island: Bringing cheer to sands of Iraq By JOHN COOPER Roger Van Parys, a Harstine Is- lander giving civilian help to our armed forces in Iraq has sent us another e-mail. Although he and those who are working with him are miles away in a land where the prevailing culture is much differ- ent from ours, customs familiar to us do appear. He calls it "Christ- mas in the sandbox." He wrote: "Well the Christmas spirit has arrived here in the war zone. Artificial trees are appearing in the cubicles and strings of orna- ments are strung over the aisles and tethered to stacked battle gear. It is a somewhat surreal en- vironment." Van Parys informs us that the care packages are arriving with all sorts of "cookies and/or crumbles" courtesy of the mail handlers "and there are stockings hanging and awaiting Saint Nick's visit. It is quite nostalgic in a macabre sort of way." He wrote: "The mess hall, that elegant eatery, featuring parched pork and charred chicken, is all alight with festive trimming and flashing red and green lights. As I am writing this I can hear someone whistling 'Oh Come All Ye Faithful' down the hall. Now he may be whistling 'Adeste Fideles,' but my Latin is a bit rusty. All in all' Tis the Season To Be Jolly.'" WITH ALL THAT decoration making things "look a lot like Christmas" Roger feels a lot like Saint Nick and may play Santa in his way: "Every year at home we give the postman and other service suppliers a small gift at Christ- mas. This year I decided to contin- ue the tradition here with three of my service favorites." His favorites are: the janitor who sweeps up all the dead flies that get swatted on a daily basis; the laundry man who never smiles but doesn't smash his buttons; and the sewage pump (Please turn to 26.)
