Undoubtedly Ol' Jerry Bibuld and his conspiracy friends will pooh-pooh the
idea of supporting Uncle Sam's "hired assasins" and "murderers," but I'm
gonna donate and I encourage everyone to do the same.

This is better and easier it seems to me.

Military Phone Card Donation Program Goes Public


The Department of Defense announced today that any American can now help
troops in
contingency operations call home._ _ 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: the Army and Air
Force
Exchange Service http://www.aafes.com/ [http://www.aafes.com/] , the
Navy Exchange
Service Command http://www.navy-nex.com/ [http://www.navy-nex.com/] ,
and the
Marine Corps Exchange http://www.usmc-mccs.org/
[http://www.usmc-mccs.org/] .
Click the “Help Our Troops Call Home� link. From there, a prepaid
calling card may
be purchased for an individual at his or her deployed address or to “any
service
member� deployed or hospitalized. The Armed Services Exchanges will
distribute
cards donated to “any service member� through the American Red Cross,
Air Force Aid
Society and the Fisher House Foundation.



The Armed Services Exchanges operate telephone call centers in Iraq,
Kuwait,
Afghanistan, and other countries and aboard ships -- anywhere
servicemembers are
deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi
Freedom. All
of these locations stay busy around the clock to keep up communication
between
deployed troops and their loved ones. The cards available through the
“Help Our
Troops Call Home� program offer the best value for calls made from the
call
centers, never expire, and there are no added charges or connection
fees.



Individuals and organizations also can show their support to
deployed
troops and their families with gift certificates. The “Gift of
Groceries� program
allows anyone to purchase commissary gift certificates at
http://www.commissaries.com [http://www.commissaries.com/] or by calling
toll free
1 (877) 770-GIFT. The Armed Services Exchanges offer the “Gift From the
Homefront�
gift certificate for merchandise at these exchange web sites:
http://www.aafes.com
and http://www.navy-nex.com or by calling toll free 1 (877) 770-GIFT.
Gift
certificates may be purchased to be mailed to servicemembers and family
members or
will be distributed to “any servicemember.� Only authorized commissary
and
exchange patrons may redeem the gift certificates at military
commissaries and
exchanges, including those stores supporting deployed personnel around
the globe.

This strikes me as a bad idea due to secrecy concerns..
