In Lieu Of Gifts, Newlyweds Want Phone Cards For Troops

ewlyweds Tony Clayton and Jeana Johnson-Clayton had a simple request.

Instead of the usual wedding gifts, they wanted long-distance calling cards. Not for themselves -- but for the GI's in Iraq. The couple married last month in Port Angeles, Wash., and got their wish.

They have nearly 60 calling cards and more are still arriving. It's a personal issue with them. The new bride's son is a Marine who will soon be deployed to war zone.

The Claytons said they'll be sending all the cards overseas -- so the troops will be able to phone home for the holidays.

Another good program can be found here, where you can donate NEX and commissary gift certificates in support of our military personnel, and they're redeemable worldwide.
