Support the Troops drive

The Delaware Chapter and it's CL have a drive to supply troops with calling cards. The details are in the provided link.

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/6...ur-troops.html

I haven't had the opportunity to explore whether or not the claims of this being the best deal on calling cards is accurate or not, so judge for yourself. But the effort to support the troops is certainly true and heartfelt and I encourage anyone who can to support as well.

The cards are purchased thru the Military Exchange program provided by AT&T. More info can be found here http://thor.aafes.com/scs/default.aspx

I can tell you this, those cards really mean something to those guys and girls out there. I am in the Navy, past 9 years and counting, and I have bought them on the ship. There's nothing better sometimes than to hear a voice from home.

Fellow FTE members, thanks to those who supported this effort, we were able to collect almost $1,000 of prepaid phone cards to send to our Troops deployed overseas.

This represented approximately 17,000 minutes the troops can use talking with their family and friends at no personal cost to them. A total of 33 cards were either mailed directly to me or given to me at the show.

The picture is of Dominick Dinardo, Civ. USAF(left side) and me, just so you all know I did give them the cards (LOL). Dom is personally going to hand out the cards to troops deploying, representing all services, through the DAFB. They will not be given to troops stationed at Dover.

Take your right hand, put it over your left shoulder and pat vigorously. JOB WELL DONE!!!!!!!
