OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Some Baltimore County students filling care packages for troops got a special treat Wednesday.

Maryland Army National Guard Staff Sgt. Daniel Stewart gave each class at the Jewish Community Center in Owings Mills a tour of his Humvee.

Stewart showed the preschoolers -- ages 2 to 6 -- medical stretchers and Meals Ready to Eat -- a brief look at military life to help them identify more to whom they're sending care packages.

As part of their spring Sukkoths projects, the students have prepared care packages for American service members deployed to Iraq. Sukkoths are a form of charitable giving through time or money -- these kids have done both."
