Small Company Hopes Donation Makes Big Connection With GIs

A small Indiana telecommunications company is thanking service members for helping

keep America free by donating thousands of prepaid calling cards to those injured
in the war on terrorism.
Terry Ballantini, chief executive officer for Tellis Long Distance, said he
started "GI Connections" to show his gratitude to service members.
The company recently donated 2,500 prepaid cards, embossed with the words
"Thank You for Our Freedom," to the Fisher House Foundation, a nonprofit
organization that helps wounded and sick service members and their families by
providing lodging close to military medical treatment centers.
"I'm just extremely pleased and gratified that we can do something that
makes a difference," he said.
Can I say I am, too?
