Giving Our Troops 'A Touch Of Home'
The current issue of
Reader's Digest publishes a letter from reader Trisha Dotson:
Our family is stationed in Spain, where my husband is a C-130 pilot in the U.S. Air Force. My husband loves his job and has trained his entire career to help protect our great nation. He's been deployed to Afghanistan twice and will return there shortly.
Today we received a Reader's Digest with a note explaning that a "grateful American" in Connecticut is sending us a free subscription for a year. What may seem like a small gesture offers a real touch of home.
The Digest says that readers have already contributed 67,500 subscriptions to U.S. military members fighting overseas. To contribute "a touch of home" in the form of a one-year Reader's Digest subscription to a member of the military overseas, send $10 per subscription to:
