Check out the web page of Books For Soldiers - Care packages for the mind..
They're putting generous citizens here at home who are willing to send their paperback books, videos or DVDS (along with care packages of snacks, personal grooming items, etc.) together with names of our troops deployed overseas!
It's going to be a long hot summer for our men and women over there, especially those stationed in Iraq up until the June 30 handover, so help them stay in touch with home by filling their downtime reading a good American story by Stephen King or Tom Clancy in a paperback and maybe include some unscented bug spray, eye wipes for those sand storms, and a Calling Card so they can ring the family back home!
Let your imagination, heart and wallet be your guide.
The Books for Soldiers site has the entire 4-1-1 to get you started, but let's let them know how much we appreciate them fighting for freedom and preserving our security!

[If you're looking for yet another way to help out our troops, don't forget Operation Air Conditioner;
as it gets warmer here in the Homeland, don't forget it's getting really warm over there in Iraq!
And if you'd like to help the Marines help the Iraqis, check out the Spirit of America website. They're helping out schools and orphanages in Iraq and Afghanistan and even trying to get an alternate TV to Al-Jazeera going to get the truth out.]
We're doing a good thing over there in Iraq and it's being done by Good Guys, our men and women of the U.S. military.
