Archeology in the cards for US troops

The Pentagon is sending another deck of playing cards to troops in Iraq, this time showing some of the country's most precious archeological sites instead of the most-wanted people.

Some 40,000 new decks of playing cards will be sent to troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

Laurie Rush, an archeologist at Fort Drum in New York, says it's part of an awareness program to encourage troops to help preserve the heritage of those countries.

It's aimed at making troops aware they shouldn't pick up and bring home artifacts and also to avoid causing damage to sites.
