	Operation Phone Card Exceeds Goal!

	Central Texas residents helped Operation Phone Card overwhelmingly exceed its initial goal of $105,000, by contributing $123,253 to provide pre-paid phone cards for Texas Army National Guard troops deploying to Iraq on New Years Day. All excess funds will be used to purchase additional phone cards for Texas and Central Texas military members. Click Here to Learn More

In January 2005, the Texas Army National Guard 56th Brigade Combat Team will be sent to Iraq in the largest overseas deployment of the Texas National Guard since World War II. Some 3,300 of our neighbors and friends will be far away from their families, jobs, classrooms, homes and churches in the service of our country.

Please make plans to attend their deployment ceremony at 2 p.m. Jan. 1 in Floyd Casey Stadium.

Thanks to the support of Central Texans, each member of the 56th Brigade will head to Iraq with a 140-minute phone card, purchased through the Army Air Force Exchange Service.
