MILWAUKEE -- As the holiday season begins, help is on the way for members of our military who aren't able to get back home. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker brings attention to a program through AT&T that will help soldiers stay connected while serving their tours.
Everytime you drop off your old cell phone, it provides two and a half hours of talk time for a soldier overseas.
Milwaukee area residents are encouraged to drop off their unwanted cell phones at any of the following eight locations from November 11, 2013 through January 11, 2014:
- Milwaukee County War Memorial, 750 N. Lincoln Memorial, Milwaukee
