Student collects comic books, games for deployed troops
Political Science major Krisztina Greene said she is collecting comic books to send to US troops serving overseas.
Her program, Comics for Commandos, was created a year ago and benefits all branches of the military, she said. Local comic book store Kaboom Test Labs has allowed Greene to set up collection boxes at their east and westside locations, she said.
“I feel this is how I can still support the military in a positive way. If I can help them pass the time or make them smile, why not?” she said.
Comics for Commandos has sent out a total of eight boxes to service members stationed around the world, she said. The program will keep going for as long as the U.S. has a standing army, she said.
