Megilot for the military?

Someone (the Robert M. Beren Academy) is fundraising to get megilot to the US military.  It would have been nice to have a real megilah when I was deployed. Being in Iraq, next door to Iran, made the megilah that much more meaningful. I remember reading the megilah, for a few soldiers from a small booklet that came in a care package. But we did get many many boxes of mishloach manot from wonderful Jewish Americans. It was really nice of them. Thanks!
