Thereï¿œs a lot of dispute about many things related to our countryï¿œs overseas adventures in Afghanistan and Iraq, but regardless of my political leanings I certainly support the individuals who are stationed there. With the exception, of course, of what I can only hope is a very small number of people who have been, for lack of a better word, torturing prisoners held by the US. See here for information on that particular story.
However, this entry is not about that (though Iï¿œm sure a future one will be). Rather, I wanted to mention something I came across today that strikes me as a wonderful idea: The Books For Soldiers program.
Apparently this site is set up for members of the armed forces who are stationed overseas to receive books, DVDs and other supplies. They post (or someone posts on their behalf) with items they would like to receive, and if youï¿œve got a copy you can part with, you reply to the post and send the item out. I think this is a phenomenal idea, and one that Iï¿œll definitely be taking part in. Check out the program at http://www.booksforsoldiers.com/
Not much of a Daily Grind, I guess, but thatï¿œs all the news from Jason today.
