Rogers Supports United Through Reading Program

(WASHINGTON, DC)—Congressman Mike Rogers attended an event in the U.S. Capitol today supporting the United Through Reading program with Congressman Allen West (R-FL), a fellow member of the House Armed Services Committee.

The United Through Reading program hosts over 270 recording locations around the world offering parents serving in the military the opportunity to record a DVD reading storybooks to their children.  In 2010, the program served nearly 325,000 children.

“A child goes through a very difficult time while a parent is on the other side of the world serving their country.  Worthy programs like these help our military families stay connected during these tough times. I applaud this important initiative and hope it continues to help make a difference for many children and their families during such challenging times in their lives,” Rogers said.

Rogers is a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee and serves on the House Homeland Security Committee.
