USO: United Through Reading Program


As some of you may know, my brother is currently stationed in Iraq. He let us know about a program that the USO is doing called, "United Through Reading."

It's a free program where they get to read a book aloud and have it sent back home to their children. The DVD, a copy of the book, instructions, as well as information on the program, are mailed to the child and family back home. All recording equipment, books and packing and shipping materials are supplied by the USO.

You can read more about it HERE.

What a fabulous thing! I can't wait for my niece to get hers!

Just for Military

Alaska Coupon Diva let me know that Walgreens has a corporate policy to give 15% off on most items and 20% off on Walgreens products to those with a military ID. As with all deals, it's left up to each Walgreens store, so you'll have to check to see if yours has this offer and what all they exclude. Thanks for the tip, Alaska Coupon Diva!

The Thrifty Mama has a posting HERE on how those of you who's soldiers will be overseas during the holiday season can get a FREE photo to share online with them.

Have a Military Loved One that you want prayed for? You can leave their name HERE on Military Prayer Wall. (Make sure you include their name and branch.)

And since we are on the subject of military, I thought you wouldn't mind if I shared a few pics my brother sent us last week from Iraq??:


I loved this one as he was smiling! Sure do miss him!


This one he said was the 2nd worst sandstorm they had since he arrived. Last time I was able to chat with him a few weeks back, he said it was 115 degrees! I told him he was going to freeze when he comes back this spring to Chicago!

And finally, I just wanted to stop and thank all of our military who sacrifice so much to defend our country.
