Several caring Vets donated money to buy phone cards for deployed soldiers, now in Iraq.

FLAGS sent $400 worth of AT&T phone cards to Iraq. Our soldiers got some extra time to speak with families back in the states.

FLAGS is always looking for phone cards, American flags, children’s art and letters to send to our Troops. When you give, please don’t forget the postage.
