Flat Daddies

Flat Daddies, those life size cut out photos that are used by children of US
troops in Iraq as life size reminders of their absent dads, have received
negative press lately. I like them.
I can't see the harm in them. However there needs to be other strategies
used to keep their father's presence alive at home. Speaking about dad,
writing letters to him, reading correspondence from him and keeping photos
handy ars just a few simple ideas that can be used to keep an absent parent
in a child's mind.
