International Calling Cards.......

Puts families in contact ...best gift for all of our military deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.......nothing quite like the gift of a child, wife ,husband, mother , father or sweethearts being able to hear from a loved one for 10 or 20 minutes.

That's what I gave this year......


Take em to the Armed Forces Recruiting Center or DOD installation near you. If you have trouble finding "who" to give em too ask for the Base or Post Public Affairs Officer or the Senior Enlisted Advisor for the Major Command on that installitation phone numbers and trust them to get your "gift" to the right place for our troops in combat zones around the world.

Ya might want to get that done pretty quick.....USPS has a deadline if Uncle Sugar won't hand carry em to the troops.

This is a very sincere post to my fellow FReepers. As some of you know, I post from Seoul, Korea and work as a civilian at Yongsan Army Garrison. Due to my "Rotund" physique, I often get tagged with playing Santa during the holidays.
I make this offer to FReepers that want to donate a phone card to a soldier on the DMZ here in Korea:
Send me a private reply expressing your desire to do so. If I receive commitment for enough cards, I will provide my APO address for these folks to send the cards. I will then make the 1 1/2 hour trip up to the DMZ, put on my Santa suit and make sure that each and every card is delivered to an unaccompanied soldier on the DMZ.

I'll be waiting to hear.
For what it's worth, the cards are much cheaper to buy here and the soldiers do not have access to 800 numbers, so we might have to get creative here.
PS. I'm not in this to make so much as ONE cent and will pay my and my wife's own way to the DMZ.
Ray in Seoul, Korea
