Also, if you have the means, drop off a prepaid telephone calling card at your local post office. They have a program to send them to the troops. It might just be the difference between a family knowing thier loved ones are safe this holiday season or worrying about them.

I second that. In Iraq or Afghanistan, most Soldiers only have access to phones that require prepaid phone cards. I don't know who the current phone server is (it was ATT when I was there in 2004), maybe someone who does know could post that up. A lot of troops are cash strapped and calling home isn't that cheap if you have to pay for it. Being able to talk to family members helped keep my sanity.
