Calling Minutes for Troops
Marines of the Fox and Golf Company rely on calling minutes to connect with their families back home. Sat phones are one of the many contributing factors of acheiving high morale and troop welfare among the marines and sailors. In order to recharge the phones with much needed additional minutes help is needed. The Wisconsin American Legion needs to raise $50,000 to provide deployed Wisconsin Reserve and Guard units with phones and sufficient calling minutes to allow all of their members to call home to Wisconsin.
