The Defense Department has authorized the Armed Services Exchanges to sell prepaid calling cards to any individual or organization that wishes to purchase cards for troops who are deployed.  The “Help Our Troops Call Home” program is designed to help servicemembers call home from Operations Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.

For those wishing to donate a prepaid calling card to a military member may log on to any of the three Armed Services Exchange web sites:

Outstanding! Cheaper to send a phone card than trying to pay for collect calls from overseas.

Thanks for the post, I hurried up and got 5 cards to be sent to Iraq. I am in tears about the loss of Tillman. I realize how much he gave up, and it emphasized the loss of other great American Servicemen and Women. They gave a lot, and I can give a little more.

Oh boy, is that great! I had to search all over town to find a card that could be used in Iraq.

I got a phone card when I went over form the VFW. It's a great idea.

Bump!! I've been donating to Operation Uplink, run by the VFW

Operation Uplink is a unique program that keeps military personnel and hospitalized veterans in touch with their families and loved ones by providing them with a free phone card. Using contributions from supporters like you, Operation Uplink purchases phone cards and distributes them to servicemen and women who are separated from those they care about.
