Operation
Uplink
Until they come home, we'll bring them voices from home.
Operation
Uplink is a program that keeps active duty military personnel and
hospitalized veterans in touch with their families and loved ones by
providing them with a free phone card. Using contributions from
supporters, Operation Uplink purchases
phone cards and distributes them to servicemen and women who are
separated from those they care about.
VFW Operation Uplink was launched in 1996 but since the events of September 11, 2001 the need for phone cards has risen drastically. Thousands of troops have been deployed. Countless phone cards have been distributed to Afghanistan, Iraq and other places around the world.
In 2006 VFW Operation Uplink began hosting "Free Call Days" throughout Iraq. On special holidays like Independence Day and Christmas, troops can call home at no charge from more than 200 Internet cafes for a full 24-hour period.
