United Through Reading: USO supports our Troops

They won't hug their daddy for another 6 months.

But he can still read to them every night.

United Through Reading records soldiers overseas reading books and sends the DVDs and the books to their children back home.

What do you tell a toddler who wants Mommy to tuck him in when Mommy is in Afghanistan? How does a family cope when Daddy is gone and no one knows when he'll be back?

One of the hidden costs of war is the heartbreaking separation of children from their soldier parents. That's why the USO has teamed up with United Through Reading: to help families stay close when Mommy or Daddy is deployed far from home.

Support our troops by supporting their kids

The United Through Reading Program provides access to books, cameras,
DVDs and mailers at USO locations worldwide. Soldiers are video-recorded reading books and talking to their children. Back home, when kids miss Mommy or Daddy, they can insert a DVD to see and hear the one they love and connect in a way that simply isn't possible through letters and photos.

Our troops willingly choose a life of service and sacrifice. But the children they leave behind have no choice. Your tax-deductible donation now can make a world of difference to a child whose parent is half a world away. Thank you for your support.
