The USO has a wonderful program called United Through Reading where they provide hardback children's books for service men and women deployed to read on video to their children back home. They package up the book and the DVD and send it to the families. What a wonderful treat for children to have their Mom or Dad read them a bed time story and actually be able to see them! Of course many have been away from family for up to a year or more, so seeing them doing something so everyday is truly a comfort for children. Here is a link to a sample of what United Through Reading is doing...
Michael and Mary Ellen were so excited to get their books from Daddy! They have instantly become their FAVORITE books; wanting to read them every night! We miss Andrew so much and are eagerly anticipating having him home soon. Thanks USO for such a special memory!
