Whether or not you support the reasons and politics behind why our troops are deployed, the troops themselves always deserve our support to make their service more pleasant and bearable. Books for Soldiers is a non-profit corporation that sends books to soldiers to help alleviate some of the boredom they face when isolated on bases in foreign countries and facing massive amounts of downtime. It's a great way to get rid of books you've already read (instead of taking them to a used book store) or why not buy the soldiers some books brand new? They certainly deserve it.
Thanks for the tip, Chad!

I like this idea.
Similarly, United Through Reading (www.unitedthroughreading.org) helps the deployed military and family by providing the ability to record the soldier reading to a video camera...and sending it back to their family. It is a great program.
God bless our troops.
