Books for Soldiers: cool website, great cause (NWR repost)

This seems like a very cool organization -- check out the website below. The basic idea is to send care packages to soldiers stationed overseas or recuperating in hospitals. Soldiers write in and request books, DVDs, and/or CDs, and you can send the requests (or other kinds of care packages) to them. DH and I are going to do this sometime this week.

The message boards (which look sort of like the LIW boards!) are very interesting. Lots of notes from soldiers, including one vegetarian gal in the Air Force who's been eating nothing but garbanzo beans and rice for months and months! (Guess what... her request was for decent vegetarian food!) Some of the letters might make you cry, too... I know I did. There are some soldiers who just request letters because they never get any from home.
