I saw these kids on Ellen before Christmas, and they truly are inspirational. I tell you, we need to not only promote this cause, but have more media covering kids like this brother and sister....who are truly teen heroes!

Thank you Glo and Kathy for realizing the importance of this brother and sister team in giving our soldiers a way to talk with family. I beleive that there are many many more of these kids out there with the intelligence and know how to help make not only our troops better but our world in general. It is up to us to encourage them to continue sharing thier ideas so that we can make our planet the best it can be. Duly noted and shared with my circle of friends.

You Rock young bro and sis!...Good to see that they care so young..it's a good thing in the world, there is hope..and there are many more children out here just like them, I have seen them, doing things for everyone from helping the elderly to giving to the soldiers...much love to them all..

What a neat project for kids to start! Gives me a great deal of hope for the future! I hope everyone supports this! Keep these guys/gals in touch w/their families - this is so critical to them all. Noted.

My son is in the United States Marine Core! I would like to think that someone out there is trying to make a difference!! These kids are!!! It was important to me to keep in touch with my son over in Iraq. It was the most difficult months of my life. I know first hand that these men and women need to keep in contact with their loved ones and like wise the love ones want to keep in touch with them as well. It helps you focus on your job. Nothing about war is easy, but we can make it easier.

I'm sending a phone, but a little worried what AT&T is profiting from this.
In '91 with Desert Storm, Bush Sr. AT&T set up phone booths in the desert for the soldiers.
When they came home from their tour of duty some faced phone bills of $5,000 and more.
AT&T did not bill the family, wives, or members of service until they returned after a 9 mth tour of duty.
..........I refuse to use AT&T ever since......
But am sending a phone, as pre-paid shouldn't have the ability to destroy families and lives as their friendly phone booths during Desert Storm months...

from what I understand, they give the soldiers Prepaid calling cards , there has been news coverage on this so I dont think ATT is getting over on everone. They accept phones from all calling companies. I actually Came across an Article on "Cellphones For Soldiers" While looking into something else on the web. I did a little backround checking before posting. I thought it would be new worthy since the holidays I sure some of you got new Cell phones.

What an awesome idea....great kids! Noted

Our MILITARY PERSONELL should be able to talk to their families.Families that most have not seen in years except for pictures that their loved ones have sent.It is not fair,they are there to protect us and what does the government do for them??

Wednesday February 13, 2008, 9:05 pm
Noted. These young people have come up with a grand idea! Now wouldn't it have been something if everyone in the military who was serving away from home were issued a phone and a card. Little enough to do! Thank you, Glo, for this hopeful story...there are many great young people out there doing service work and it bodes well for the future.

What a great idea, noted and thank you very much.

How refreshing to see the positive actions & inspiration given by these youngsters......& I'M SURE THE MAJORITY OF TODAYS YOUTH.....as opposed to the bad press & media attention given to the bad/sad minority in this age group!

Noted with thanks to Glo and Ingrid for sending me this article, it is such a great idea which came from two young teenagers! I have a couple of old cell phones and will gladly donate them. I also will send this to other family and friends so they can help our soldiers too. These soldiers need all our help and support.
