It’s always hard when family members can’t be home for the holidays, but it’s especially tough when they’re soldiers, stationed overseas. Many of us at TransCore have loved ones serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait and, proud as we are of them, we sure wish that they were home.

Our fleet trailer tracking group donated 30,000 minutes’ worth of phone cards to American troops stationed in the Middle East, to let them call home for the holidays. The cards will let soldiers in base camps and forward combat areas call their families and, we hope, remind them that the folks at home are thinking about them.

You can learn more about TransCore's donation in this article. Better still, you can participate. Just connect with “Help Our Troops Call Home” program, sponsored by the Army & Air Force Exchange Service, and let them know how much you wish to give. Visit the AAFES website or call 800-527-2345 to learn more.

The price of a designer coffee could help a soldier say “happy holidays” to his kids. Isn’t that more satisfying than a mocha-coca-loca-whatever?

Thanks
