A MoveOn.org Civic Action: Can you give $15 to buy a phone card for our troops?...
This winter, thousands of U.S. servicemen and women are spending the holidays far away from their families, and calling home can cost them a large part of their paycheck. Troops stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the globe actually have to pay for phone calls to the U.S.—and many of them just don't have a lot of money to spare. Imagine being stuck in Iraq, Afghanistan, or Korea and being unable to afford a call to your spouse or kids on Christmas or New Year's Eve.
Troops stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the globe actually have to pay to call home for the holidays—and many of them just don't have a lot of money to spare. That's why we're helping the USO to provide thousands of phone cards to servicemen and women to let them call their friends, family and loved ones this holiday season.These phone cards don't cost a lot—only $15 each (plus a $3 transaction fee), but they are incredibly valuable, providing about 45 minutes of talk-time and holiday wishes for service members.
