AFFES Helps Deployed Troops Call Home

Week of June 29, 2009

Just in time for the Fourth of July, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service's (AAFES) "Help Our Troops Call Home" phone card program keeps American troops in touch with their families back home. By simply logging on to the AAFES website at aafes.org or by calling 800-527-2345, friends, family members and even civic groups can take part in the effort by sending any one of three Military Exchange Global Prepaid Phone cards to servicemembers. The cards include a 550-minute denomination capable of providing more than two hours of call time from any of 69 phone centers in Iraq, Afghanistan or Kuwait to the U.S. A phone card can also be earmarked for "any servicemember" and distributed via a charity.
