Green Army Women Toys Are Ready for Duty

Green Army Women toys are ready for duty. The BMC Plastic Army Women toy set was created after they received a letter from a young girl asking why there were no female soldiers.

Good Morning America says Vivian Lord, a second grade student, wrote to several toymakers and Jeff Imel, the president of BMC Toys in Scranton, Pennsylvania, was the only toymaker to respond. The GMA story also has a copy of Vivian's letter. Her letter included the great question, "Why do you not make Girl army men my friends mom is in the army to!!"
