Dear Friend,

Imagine for a moment that you're far away from your family and friends. You might know when you will be home again, but that date is so distant it's hard to imagine. You're cold and lonely and really miss the simple things -- like talking to your kids on the phone.

That's what it is like for troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.

But you can make it possible for them to call home and hear the sound of their daughter's voice, or listen to their son's excited recap of a basketball game.

Our troops sacrifice so much for the rest of us. Today, you can show your appreciation in a very real way.

Donate $25 or more now to support Operation Phone Home and give troops the chance to make a call to their loved ones over the holidays.

Operation Phone Home is a vital part of the USO's At Home In Our Hearts holiday campaign. With your help, we can distribute thousands of pre-paid telephone cards to service men and women stationed overseas.

We must get thousands of phone cards into the hands of these men and women. Can we count on you to embrace one of those troops right now?

Support Operation Phone Home by making a donation of $25 or more to help troops talk to their loved ones this holiday season.

Our partnership with AT&T makes it possible for us to buy phone cards at a deep discount. That means your contribution goes further and provides more talk time on each card we distribute.

Nothing can take the place of being home for the holidays, but when duty calls, our troops answer without hesitation.

Your contribution to this appeal will help to ensure that troops serving in lonely outposts over the holidays are At Home In Our Hearts.

Sincerely,
Sloan Gibson
President and CEO, USO
