WOW! Our troops are going to have a library stocked with more books than some towns here have.

Great work!

It was a little bit of a chore but not an entirely selfless one.

We needed to move a bookcase to put in a desk for our son and even though we'd given away a lot of books these were for the most part just collecting dust.

We got to move the bookcase leaving room for more books, create a study area, pass along a lot of good books and get a nice warm feeling in our hearts - not bad for a couple day's work.

I hope some troops will get a chance to read some stuff they might not normally run across. Dick Francis, Ursula Le Guin, Ayn Rand, etc.

This is really just an extended BUMP! and a hint that maybe others might want to clear off a bookshelf or two.

$8.00 a box of about 15 books each - easy way to truly say
"We're with you". I'll miss some books but like I told my daughter - we can just go to the library or Target if we want something to read - they can't.

PS: I know you're one of those Angels on Earth like Patty but don't worry - I won't tell a soul. TH54 ;-)
