Every month of the year, troops can call home for FREE via the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) “Free Call Days”.
At least one designated day each month, deployed service members making calls to the U.S. from their local Morale Welfare & Recreation (MWR) center are greeted by a recording which states their call will be free courtesy of VFW Operation Uplink™. The program began working through 191 internet cafes abroad and is now offered through more than 866 locations. Troops can call home from Internet cafes in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kuwait.

VFW Operation Uplink™ was launched in 1996 to connect active-duty troops and hospitalized veterans with their loved ones. The program uses contributions from supporters to purchase phone time for the men and women who are serving — or have served — this great nation, as well as hospitalized veterans.
Traditional phone cards are still being provided at military hospitals and VA facilities, as well as to troops in regions not served by the “Free Call Days.”
Let your deployed soldier know about this great free service. If you’d like to help by making a donation, visit the Operation Uplink web page.
