Holiday Mail for Heroes Planning Tips

The 2010 Holiday Mail for Heroes P.O. Box is now open – and we need your help to make this year’s program the best yet. As you start your card-making activities, don’t forget to follow these important tips!

Do...
Include your heartfelt sentiments and sign all cards
Entitle cards with generic terms such as “Dear Service Member, Family or Veteran”
Limit cards to 15 per person or 50 for school class or business group
Bundle groups of cards in single, large envelopes

Don’t...
Send letters, care packages or monetary gifts
Include personal information such as home or email addresses
Use glitter – excessive amounts can aggravate health issues of wounded recipients
Include inserts of any kind as they must be removed in the screening process

From now until December 10th you are invited to send holiday cards to our American service members, their families, and veterans all over the world. Anyone can send a card and you can send as many as you would like! Please send all cards to:

They must be postmarked by Friday, Dec.10th or they will be returned to you.
