Aparently our Government does not help Veterens to be able to call there Loved ones from the Hospitals during the Holidays..This agency Will distribute Phone Cards so that they can do this...I think it's wonderful, and for only about 10.00 You can give back and feel good your doing a good thing over the holidays,..Here is the article If you'd like to read more,.--------------Salute Our Veterans; Help Them Call Home Over the Holidays We oppose the war, but we support our troops. It's really a sad state of affairs when the Bush administration won't even grant our nation's hospitalized veterans a few dollars in long-distance fees so they can call their loved ones back home over the holidays. So again this year, CREDO Action from Working Assets and Veterans For Peace are teaming up to bring the gift of long-distance calling cards to veterans at VA hospitals all over the country.Last year, thanks to overwhelming generosity from folks just like you, we were able to raise over $90,000. This was enough to ship more than 24,000 cards loaded with 3,180,000 minutes to VA hospitals all over the United States. This year, we hope to repeat the feat. Your tax-deductible $10.50 donation will provide 120-minute phone cards to three veterans, and a $35 donation will get two-hour cards to ten veterans. Please click here to contribute and help send phone cards to hospitalized veterans this year. (Your tax-deductible donation will be processed securely and safely by Groundspring.org.)Reports back from last year's project were truly heartwarming. The staff at one VA hospital wrote us that, "Your kindness...will contribute significantly to the recovery process and bring added joy to our veterans." A volunteer who helped deliver the cards to another VA hospital wrote us that, "Two hours of phone time is like gold to them. Many a tear was shed. Thanks to you, the holidays will be happier for lonely veterans around the country." "Supporting the troops" really isn't about sending them into a Mideast quagmire and stubbornly keeping them there to referee a civil war and protect oil supplies. It's about honoring our nation's promises regarding their medical care, and trying to repay in some small way the debt of gratitute we all owe them. Since this administration won't step up to the plate, it's up to us. Click here to buy three, ten, or more phone cards for hospitalized vetarans to call home this holiday season.Thank you in advance for your contribution, and for working to build a better world.
