This year, we are working on raising $2500 – $5,000 to purchase, load
and send 10-20 Kindle eBook readers each to Military Treatment
Facilities at Camp LeJeune and Ft. Bragg – and other base MTFs if we
can. We have also heard from soldiers that although the majority of
patients are male, donated reading material all too often consists of
magazines and “romance” books. Thus we are working with our friends at
Baen Books to pre-load the readers with over 100 titles – primarily
“hard” science fiction and military adventure fiction by authors such as
Ringo, Williamson, Drake, Weber, Kratman, Correia, and many more. We
feel that the selection of fiction on the eBook readers will appeal to
soldiers who have seen combat (more so than society magazines and
romances!) and will remind “our guys” that we will always remember and
honor their service.
Full information at Correia's place.
