I second the idea. I have three family members who have/are serving in 
Afghan/Iraq, and our family has done phone card donation initiatives before. 
They are a big winner with those serving, and we received several letters of 
thanks from the troops.  (There were also many requests for cigs, but I 
figured folks don't want to contribute to that habit.)

We were advised to send a small note with each card. Some of the troops 
appreciate it, as they would like to know who extended the charity to them so 
they can send thanks. A real name makes it more personal I think, but to each 
his/her own.
