I agree with many of the coments. Why use tax dollars to do something that we could get company’s to donate!!! I thought digi scrapping was supposed to be cheaper? I don’t have a problem with the program in general because keeping our guys and gals connected to their families back home is important to their morale. But… why not use the money to provide computers, or computer time, or phone or phone cards so they can communicate on a regular basis? I don’t see how making a scrapbook of their service would help their morale. If the wives or parents of these vets, or the vets themselves, want a book, then make the pics available on line for them to chose. I was a military wife for quite a number of years. I would rather have had good communication. Or for my spouse to have had better, safer gear, than a scrapbook of his time in service.
Really folks…..5Million!! What are they thinking?

How can a scrapbook store get in on this project.

I would do this for free minus printing costs, I’m sure I could get that donated or even the family would be willing to pay for the book printing. Being a military wife, 5 million? That’s just crazy, you get people to reenlist by offering incentives, not a book.

I agree $5 million? Seriously? It’s digital scrapbooking why on earth is it costing so much? And I really don’t see how they can claim that it would encourage troops to re-enlist, maybe they should spend that money on increasing the wages for our troops instead!
