Operation Uplink offers free phone calls
AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Operation uplink was launched in 1996 by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the program provides free phone time to active-duty military personnel and hospitalized veterans.
Keeping in touch with family members is very important to the families of our service members, the VFW said a simple phone call can be a vital link. The program initially provided calling cards to service members, due the growing popularity of the program they started hosting "Free Call Days" in 2006. At least one day each month, service members making a call to their loved ones are greeted by a message which states their call will be free. The program is offered through more that 866 locations.
