NewsChannel5 knows the importance of soldiers staying in touch with family members during this time of war.

WEWS along with SBC and VFW district have teamed up to help soldiers call home with a project called Operation Uplink.

Through the project you can make a donation so that phone cards can be provided to soldiers.

The project has the support of the Department of Defense, so you can be assured that your funds will help a soldier stay in touch with his family and friends.

You can log onto www.operationuplink.org to make a donation or call (800) 479-5228.
