MIssion: Together, United Through Reading unites military families facing physical separation by facilitating the bonding experience of reading aloud.

- Children's anxieties are eased.
- Spouses at home are supported.
- Parenting is shared.
- Service members' morale is boosted.
- Service members continue to be a part of daily life at home no matter where military duty takes them..
- Homecomings are easier and more joyful.
- Children's literacy is supported and they become readers.
