Chevrolet puts out call for 'Cell Phones for Soldiers'

Got a used cell phone that still works? Chevrolet wants to put it in the hands of a U.S. armed service member far from home to help them stay in touch with loved ones.

Chevy's drive began over the past two days at the big NASCAR race at Daytona. Fans were urged to donate unwanted, gently used cell phones for recycling. It will continue at local Chevrolet dealers. And is will work in companion with a program to provide pre-paid calling cards to troops serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.

"We feel 'Cell Phones for Soldiers' is a worthy cause that fits well with GM's long-standing commitment to support the men and women serving our country," said Mark Degnan, GM director of local advertising, marketing and training. "Personally, with a brother and a nephew in active duty in Iraq, I know how important every call home can be for soldiers overseas, and their families at home."
