If you buy PFc Jessica Lynch's book when it comes out next month, you could help the children of other soldiers.

The former prisoner of war established a foundation to assist children of soldiers, particularly ones whose mother or father were killed while serving.

Lynch is doing this to honor the memory of her best friend PFc Lori Piestewa, who was killed when the 507th maintenance company was ambushed in March.

Piestewa was the mother of two small children.

Lynch's attorney, Stephen Goodwin, says the foundation will be funded with money from Lynch's forthcoming book and other revenue sources.

Goodwin says Lynch also hopes the foundation will help the Wirt County community.
