Update on Project Books For Troops

We're almost a week into July, so it's time for a quick update on my Books For Troops fund drive. This month I'm pledging $1 to Books For Troops for every copy of The Greatest Show on Dirt sold, in either paperback or ebook format. Considering the distractions of the holiday, sales weren't too bad. 22 copies sold as of tonight. Room for improvement, but we're on track to cut a meaningful check at the end of the month.

Aaron Schoonmaker of WRALSportsFan.com in Raleigh, NC, wrote about the drive in his column today. I was very flattered by this piece, and especially appreciated how he felt so passionate about it. With two brothers serving, he understands how important it is to let them know we haven't forgotten about them half a world away.
