4. What I did to help! I worked at a car wash for three hours along with my other friends from different FYE students I held up posters telling people driving why we were having a car wash I also helped clean and dry the cars First we would hose down the car Then we scrubbed the cars clean with sponges We then rinsed the car off one last time and dried the cars with towels We ended up making 500 dollars!

5. Injured Soldiers So far over 400 US soldiers have died in Iraq The number of injured US soldiers is less known US authorities have been down playing this side of the war The truth recently has been starting to leak out Over 1500 US soldiers have been injured in armed conflicts, and a staggering 9,341 have been flown out for various other health reasons, most importantly for mental stress The second car wash I did was for the injured soldiers that have been in Iraq This car wash was especially important to me because some of my family has been in Iraq www.globalsecuity.org

6. Information on John Thompson The community service event held on Saturday, April 23, 2005 was to raise support for PFC injured soldier John Ryan Thompson of The United States Army.

9. What I Thought The first thought of community service doesn’t give me the best thoughts Once I was doing my service learning projects it was not bad at all I was really happy to raise money for people that are in need Overall I really enjoyed working at the car wash You got to hangout with your friends and raise donations at the same time!
