"Help Our Troops Call Home"

The “Help Our Troops Call Home” Program allows for the purchase of a AT&T Prepaid Phone Card for deployed U.S. troops. The program makes it easy for deployed military members to call home and stay in touch with family and friends. Hearing a familiar voice is one of the best ways to boost morale and feeling of well being for our troops. The phone cards do not expire and do not add any additional charges or connection fees.

American Red Cross deployed staff distribute calling cards to service members in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan.

Purchase Prepaid Phone Cards through the Chapter for just $18.42 ($20.42 for “ship to shore”) to send to "any service member" who is deployed by sending a check to 318 Washington Street, Frankfort, KY  40601 marked “Military Phone Card”; or visit www.aafes.com or call 800-527-2345.
