We wish to extend a Thank
You on behalf of the Military and encourage every individual to consider purchasing a Prepaid Calling Card at any time. These cards can be purchased at this special website set up by the Military of Defense: https://thor.aafes.com/scs/default.aspx. You can request that your Calling Card purchase be given to specific Military Personnel, wounded Personnel, or to a special branch of the Military. Your purchase can give hope and a Spiritual lift to those who face combat every day. Please consider this purchase anytime!
Thank you,
