Everyone who has requested, donated, shipped, or accepted a book for Operation Medical Libraries (OML) has spent time doing something that matters. Here's a Lady Antebellum video with a message you can claim as your own. Thanks for being "here" for OML.

Introducing OML's newest POC: Troy Bettencourt at FOB GAMBERI, a Physician Assistant, who is serving as the Medical Advisor to the 1st Brigade of the eastern providence of the Afghan National Army. The clinic is the model for the providence so it would be especially helpful if they had applicable resources. All medical references will be shared with its Afghan partners for them to use in their medical facility.
