Military Digital Scrapbooks Get Government Boost

Lorrie McCullers — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 20:21:40 +0000

Lorrie McCullers has been scrapbooking since 1999 and has loved every minute of it. She is a tutor, specializing in high school English and test prep. You can learn more about her by visiting her at her blog.

Senator Bob Bennett (R-Utah) has secured an earmark of $5 million in Defense Department funds to be used to create digital scrapbooks for military units.

Remember My Service, a program currently being rolled out by the U.S. Army and the Salt Lake-based company Storyrock, compiles photographs and records to tell the stories of individual National Guard units.

Bennett and supporters of the program say that the digital scrapbooks are a morale-booster. Some even go so far as to say that the DVDs will even encourage troops to re-enlist.

The program is not without critics, however. Though the $5 million being used to pay for the program is a very small percentage of the overall Defense Department budget, many have pointed out that it is money that could be used for troop training or supplies.
