The NCR Hokies are engaging in a friendly competion with the DC Hoos chapter to collect new childrens books for USO's United Through Reading Program. We will be collecting books through the Tech-UVa game Nov. 24th, when we will claim victory of over UVa (like our football team does every year!)
The United Through Reading program sends books to deployed military personnel around the world. The books are read on camera by parents of children stateside with the book and a DVD of the reading sent to the family. Here is a list of requested books from USO:
