Phone Cards for Hospitalized Service Members

[Received via e-mail, sorry, I don't know the original source - but a good idea.]

Think about this:

Yellow ribbons tied around trees and red, white and blue stickers on the backs SUVs saying "Support our Troops" are things that make civilians feel good but do nothing for the men and women actually in uniform. 

So please consider the following: 

The number ONE request at Walter Reed hospital is phone cards. The government doesn't pay long distance phone charges and these wounded soldiers are rationing their calls home. Many will be there throughout the holidays. 

Really support our troops --Send phone cards of any amount to: 

 They say they need an "endless" supply of these -- any amount even $5 is greatly appreciated. 

Wal-Mart has good prices on AT&T cards, Sams Club is even better, if you are a member. I pay less than three cents per minute there.

I am sure you would feel better about doing this, than to buy something for a third cousin, that would find it on the closet shelf six months later, and wonder where it came from.
