Here's a reply from the RL thread. It's worth sharing here and speaks to what we're all trying to do:
"I am writing this from my "Hooch" at Camp Victory in Baghdad.
Mike, I can tell you from recent experience these cards really are appreciated by the hard working soldiers over here. The USO at Camp Virginia in Kuwait handed out these phone cards and they came in very handy while traveling between bases during deployment training.
I have to tell you that I am humbled every day by the stories of the sacrifices the young troops down range make on a daily basis. I have it easy, I work in a comfortable office and rarely go outside the wire. Many of these troops go in harms way on a daily basis and these cards make it easier them keep in touch with loved ones at home...so its definitely a worthy cause.
Bravo Zulu!"
As an aside, with what we've raised in the last 2 donation drives and what we've raised so far in this drive, we will have purchased over 40,000 minutes of talk time for our soldiers. That is sure to put smiles on families faces and ease the hardship of separation. Let's keep it up!
Happy Thanksgiving to all, especially our troops serving far from home. Even in tough times, we have much to be thankful for.
Mike
