My nephews are coming in 25 days. Two of my nephews live nearly 2000 miles away so I don’t get to see them nearly as often as I’d like. We talk on the phone and watch webcams a lot. While that doesn’t feel like enough, I have to admit that I am thankful for it. When I was their age we spoke with my grandparents for a few minutes every other Sunday. The technology is so much better now.
During World War II, families would go months without so much as a word from their loved ones in harm’s way. The technology is so much better now. So why can’t our soldiers call home whenever it is safe to do so? We have thousands of sacrificing Americans who can’t even talk to their families with any regularity.
On this Thanksgiving, let’s take a moment to give back to our proud defense force by sending them what they crave most, the opportunity to talk to the ones they love. Your $36 donation buys two soldiers an 80 minute phone card each (that would be 600 minutes of calling within the US). Any amount will make a difference.
Let’s all give the gift of thanks and family this holiday season for those who give us the gift of freedom.
