    For Kids: http://www.army.mil/usar/ This Army Reserve site gives kids
the opportunity to color pictures and

send them to a Reservist.

    The website http://www.talkingwithkids.org/ provides information for
adults on how to talk with children and teens about war and terrorism. It
is also helpful in providing guides about other issues that confront our young.
