Operation Paperback

November 12, 2008

Founded in 1999, Operation Paperback collects gently used books and sends them to American troops deployed overseas.

Many of our troops are serving far from home and living in facilities that provide few of the comforts of home. At the end of the duty day, the opportunity to escape into a good book is welcomed.

I can only imagine. Whatever you think of the war(s), this seems like a damn good idea. (Via.)
