Stephen Colbert Joins Reddit Gift Exchange for Troops.

Fans of actor/comedian Stephen Colbert in the Spokane, Washington area have an opportunity to join the bear-fearing fake pundit in a new effort to help support active military personnel from the United States and other countries.

On Monday, May 21, the social news site Reddit launched a new gift exchange program that encourages people to send care packages to Reddit users who are currently serving with any branch of their country’s armed services.

According to Christine Erickson of Mashable, “The initiative is part of a larger ongoing project, ‘redditgifts.’ This [Secret Santa] style gift exchange allows users to swap goods with each other. Past redditgifts exchanges have presented users with DVDs, letters, basic necessities and even a laptop.

“The troops gift exchange launched [Monday] — and comedian Stephen Colbert has already claimed the first spot on the list of gift givers, or ‘[S]antas.’”
