Free Photo Books
The USO and RocketLife, have partnered to deliver a heart-warming opportunity for the men and women of the armed forces and their families. The Personal Photo Book program enables troops serving abroad and their families to create 20-page personal photo books and ship them to any APO/FPO address—for free. These full-color, customized photo books are small enough to fit in a soldier’s cargo pockets yet can hold more than 60 photos of loved ones. RocketLife prints the books for free, and the USO pays for the shipping. To get started, visit http://uso.myphotoproducts.com/.
