NEXCOM provides free phone cards to military members forward...
By Kristine M. Sturkie, Navy Exchange Service Command Public Affairs
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (NNS) -- The Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) announced that for the eighth holiday season in a row, military members underway or forward deployed during the holiday season will be given free phone cards to call loved ones back home.
"I'm glad we are once again able to provide these free phone cards to military members who will be away from their loved ones during the holiday season," said Jennie Zack, NEXCOM personal telecommunications specialist. "Our military members do so much for us throughout the year and make huge sacrifices, such as being away from home over the holidays. These phone cards are our way of saying thank you."
Each Sailor, Marine and Coast Guard member who will be deployed or forward deployed during the December holiday season on board Navy ships or Coast Guard vessels equipped with AT&T Direct Ocean Service phones will receive a $10 prepaid phone card. In addition, Sailors who will be deployed on submarines will also be receiving a card. NEXCOM expects to distribute nearly 38,000 free phone cards during the holidays.

Truman (CVN 75), USS San Jacinto (CG 56), USS Hue City (CG 66), USS Carney (DDG 64), USS Winston S Churchill (DDG 81), USS Nimitz (CVN 68), USS Princeton (CG 59), USS Higgins (DDG 76), USS Chafee (DDG 90), USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6), USS Cleveland (LPD 7), USS Rushmore (LSD 7), USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19), USS George Washington (CVN 73), USS Cowpens (CG 63), USS Shiloh (CG 67), USS Curtis Wilbur (DDG 54), USS John S. McCain (DDG 56), USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62), USS Lassen (DDG 82), USS McCampbell (DDG 85), USS Stethem (DDG 63), USS Essex (LHD 2), USS Denver (LPD 9), USS Harpers Ferry (LSD 49), USS Tortuga (LSD 46), USS Frank Cable (AS 40), USS Mount Whitney (LCC/JCC 20), USS Carter Hall (LSD 50), USS Benfold (DDG 65), USS Donald Cook (DDG 75).
