Holiday Mail For Our Soldiers

We are all gearing up for the holidays, but here is a item to put on your TO-DO list!   I recently saw a post on FaceBook about “Thanking Our Heros”.   I read the article and thought this is a fabulous idea to share with you.   Please put this on your TO-DO list!

I am going to get some cards for “Thanks”…..or seasonal for “Thanksgiving” and get them done.  It’s such a small way to thank-you to our Heros in the Hospitals.  This is a great way to say thank you to our soldiers.  I personally plan to get to work on my holiday cards early this year, and this is a great way to get started on them early!

The deadline in December 6th, so please get your cards and in the mail before THANKSGIVING!   This is a great way to tell our soldiers that we are THANKFUL for their service!

Please observe the following guidelines to ensure a quick reviewing process:

• Ensure that all cards are signed
• Use generic salutations such as “Dear Service Member.”
• Cards addressed to specific individuals can not be delivered through this program.
• Only cards are being accepted. Do not send or include letters.
• Do not include email or home addresses on the cards: the program is not meant to foster pen pal relationships.
• Do not include inserts of any kind, including photos: these items will be removed during the reviewing process.
• Please refrain from choosing cards with glitter or using loose glitter as it can aggravate health issues of ill and injured warriors.
• If you are mailing a large quantity of cards, please bundle them and place them in large mailing envelopes or flat rate postal shipping boxes.
• Each card does not need its own envelope, as envelopes will be removed from all cards before distribution.

Please share this idea with all of your friends too!
