Dr. Jill Biden will be in Philadelphia tomorrow (Thursday) to read her new book
Don’t Forget, God Bless Our Troops with children from local
schools. The book is told through the viewpoint of a little girl, based on Biden's granddaughter, whose father is in Iraq for a year. The book also includes resources about
what readers can do to support military service members and their
families.
Dr.
Biden accepted no advance for the book and will donate all net author
proceeds to the USO to provide additional resources for the future
education
of children of military families. In addition, publisher Simon & Schuster
will make a contribution to the USO to support military children in
honor of the book’s publication.
Tomorrow evening Dr. Biden returns to Washington to talk to the Girl Scouts of the USA
National Leadership, who are gathered in Washington, D.C. in advance of
Rock the Mall, the world’s
largest sing-along in honor of the 100th Anniversary of Girl
Scouting. Girls Scouts adult leaders from 112 councils across all 50
states will be in attendance.
