The Miss America Organization Salutes Our Miss Americas Visiting Iraq

clipped from www.missamerica.org

Susan Perkins Botsford, Miss America 1978,  Sharlene
Wells Hawkes,
Miss America 1985 and Susan Powell, Miss America
1981, just returned from Baghdad, Iraq last week
where they had the opportunity to meet thousands
of U.S. and coalition troupes.   



Our Miss Americas visited wounded forces at
Landstuhl Hospital on Ramstein Air Force Base in
Germany. As part of Operation Iraqi Children,
they were able to distribute school supplies to
children in Iraq,  which filled the luggage
compartment of the American Airlines chartered
jet they traveled on.


Our Miss Americas read letters to our American
troupes written by
U.S.
children and were also able to
perform in shows on our U.S. bases in Baghdad
and Ramstein Air Force Base before leaving. 
Tony Orlando was also there performing for our
troops!


We are so proud to have
had our Miss Americas
travel to Iraq
on
such an important mission and so
proudly represent America.
