A Note of Thanks from Operation Uplink
December 22, 2004
On behalf of the thousands of men and women serving our nation in
uniform, thank you for your recent gift to Operation Uplink. Your generosity
is a testament to your patriotism, as well as your concern for all the
individuals who protect our American freedom every day!
Your gift of $1,000.00 to Operation Uplink will be used to purchase
much-needed phone time for troops on the front line, at a time when they
need it most.
And I can't tell you enough how much that means to these brave men and
women. On several occasions, I've had the opportunity to personally
hand out Operation Uplink cards. There's simply no way I can convey the
excitement on a young face realizing that they'll be able to talk to a
spouse or child, or reach their parents at such an important time.
Here's just a sampling of the responses we receive from grateful
recipients:
"I'm deployed to Bosnia, and my father is a diabetic. He had surgery
eight days ago to remove part of his foot due to infection. Thank you for
the card." -- CW2, United States Armed Forces
"We plan on using the phone card to call home to tell our families
about the birth of our baby!" -- Service Member, United States Air Force
"My husband was TDY for 7 weeks during which time my oldest daughter
turned 2 years old. He came home for five days before deploying. My
2-year-old does not understand why I can't just call Daddy. Thanks to you, I
can." -- Wife of Service Member, United States Air Force
With Gratitude,
John J. Senk Jr.
Adjutant General, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States
President, Veterans of Foreign Wars Foundation
P.S. As someone who shares our concern for American troops, we'd like
to periodically update you on how Operation Uplink is helping our heroes
away from home. If you would prefer not to receive these updates,
