Tonight, I'm taking a look at a list sent out by Operation Paperback. It's a wish list of books that members of our armed forces would like to read, and I thought you all might be interested. I know that there are so many wonderful non-profits out there, but here's another one to consider. Our troops are in different parts of the world -- in the cold or heat, from Afghanistan to Uzbekistan and everywhere in between. They'd like to read some of the good books out there that you and I are fortunate enough to be able to go to the store and easily pick up, or check out at the library. Thanks to them, we have options.
So here's what a typical list can look like. And if you want to participate, go ahead and sign up to contribute the next time around. I'm sure it would be appreciated.
