I checked the web site on the free phone cards but it takes up to 2-4 weeks to process the request. At this point, it would be better to purchase the phone card. But its great to know this site for future projects!

My son, Matthew was deployed aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower from October 2006 to May 2007 and I really enjoyed sending him a package of his wants and needs every two weeks.

I'm going to make some cards from Dad's jpg this afternoon and have our high school youth group do the cards they are writing tomorrow on those instead of Christmas cards. The kids will be thrilled and so will the Sailors. Thanks for doing this Dad,,,you're a gem.

Sammie suggested the bubble wrap too Molly so I'm going to go with that and send the package with lots of prayers that they stay intact. Molly what about packs of gum? I thought about that one too but when I was at the store the candy canes just sorta jumped off the shelf into my cart (so I tell my hubby).

Alright we go with that. Wing and a prayer. .....I almost put a prayer up on the prayer wall on N4M....it was short and sweet. Please God, Let these phone cards from Molly's Adopt a Sailor work. I know that's kinda asking for something material, but I still asked last night. ;-) Last night, I also used Dad's post card for the USS RMD (which is so very awesome--he posted it above)....and made a Christmas card out of it. Yeah! Again, I can't wait to send these. Here's to a great day. I'm updating the count right now!

Based on our other months of sailors we have done (all over in the sandbox) we have found that if they are on a base anywhere in the middle east countries they call home for free. That is why we have never sent sandbox sailors calling cards. Our ship could be anywhere, from Mexico to Japan to Greece. Because we do not know where they are we just have to fly on a wing and a prayer that wherever they are during the holidays that our cards work :)
