You can send an inspirational card, like I will be doing, from DaySpring, or have your kids make one. Make sure you read the guidelines below so your generosity doesn't go to waste.
Please send cards to this address:
Holiday Mail for Heroes
PO BOx 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456
- All cards must be postmarked no later than Wednesday, December 10, 2008.
- If sending more than one card, please mail all cards together in one large shipping envelope. Cards sent in this manner do not need individual envelopes or postage.
- Please ensure that all cards are signed.
- Please use generic salutations such as “Dear Service Member.”
- Please do not include personal information, like email or home addresses.
- Please do not send letters.
- Please do not include inserts of any kind, including photos, glitter, confetti, gift cards or calling cards. Any items inserted into cards will be removed during the reviewing process.
- All cards received may be used in program publicity efforts, including appearing in broadcast, print or online mediums.
This will probably be the cheapest give that you do all month. For the price of a stamp you'll encourage the men and women that are currently serving all over the world, their families, and Veterans that have given of themselves physically and emotionally through past conflicts and wars.
You can also carry on the support of the troops in prayer throughout the whole year. Find out more info.

Thanks so much for letting people know about Holiday Mail for Heroes! On behalf of my colleagues at Pitney Bowes and the American Red Cross I wanted to thank you for all of your support in helping to spread the word about the program and let you know we surpassed the goal of delivering one million cards to US service members, veterans and military families.
For more information about the program results and a personal note of thanks, please view the following video. Thanks again!
