- Donation by The Chrysler Foundation helps improve soldier morale

- Chrysler LLC continues to offer video conferencing to families in southeast Michigan

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., April 2 -- The Chrysler Foundation announced today that it has donated $100,000 to the Freedom Calls Foundation. The funds will help support videoconferencing technology provided by the Freedom Calls Foundation to connect troops deployed in Iraq with their families in the United States free of charge and improve the morale of U.S. soldiers stationed in Iraq.

"We are pleased to assist the Freedom Calls Foundation in its important mission of connecting soldiers and their families using the modern technology of video conferencing," said Frank Fountain, President - The Chrysler Foundation. The Chrysler Foundation's contribution helps to lift the morale of the men and women in uniform who are serving our country in Iraq, and bring together family members who otherwise would be separated."

Chrysler LLC has partnered with the Freedom Calls Foundation to make video conferencing technology available to more citizens through demonstrations at auto show events in Detroit, Chicago and New York and the UAW-Dodge 400 race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Event attendees are able to view the videoconference technology in real time and take the opportunity to speak directly to soldiers who are currently serving overseas.

In November 2007, Chrysler LLC partnered with The Freedom Calls Foundation to make the company's video conferencing facilities in southeast Michigan available to connect families and soldiers during the holiday season. The popular program has since been extended through the end of 2008.

"The Freedom Calls Foundation is honored to receive funding from The Chrysler Foundation, in support of our mission to provide soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan with state of the art video conferencing and telephone services, free of charge" said John Harlow, Executive Director, Freedom Calls Foundation, "Nothing means more to military families than the opportunity to communicate with deployed loved ones and we are proud with Chrysler's help to be able to make these vital services available to them."

Freedom Calls Foundation is a non-profit organization with a mission to make state-of-the-art communication resources available to military families free of charge. Freedom Calls currently administers more than 2,000 calls totaling more than 1.5 million minutes each month for military families to reconnect with their soldier.
