Giving our troops the opportunity to escape into a good book since 1999.

Just received this week - thank you most kindly for the very large box of paperback books which you shipped to us on the 16th of last month from Red Lion, Pennsylvania. These books will be put to very good use by sailors and civilians living on the small island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. We are most grateful for your kindness and generosity and are very appreciative of the efforts you went to in shipping this "care package" to "USS". Kindly rest assured they will be put to good use. All the best from all of "USS" here on DG."
