If you'd like to support the troops overseas, it's likely your post office can help you.
The Northland District of the Postal Service is sponsoring a campaign called "Phone Cards for Troops" that allows customers to purchase a phone card and donate it back to the postal service. The Northland District gathers all phone cards each week and donates them to commanders of area military units, asking them to distribute the phone cards to local troops deployed overseas.
Over 200 post offices in the Northland -- which covers most of Minnesota and the western third of Wisconsin -- are participating in the promotion. Customers may buy phone cards for $10 (100 minutes), $20 (250 minutes) or $30 (450 minutes).
