Send a holiday card to an American service member
Would you like to send a holiday card to an American service member, veteran or their family in the United States and around the world?
When you're writing your holiday cards this year, take a minute to address one to a service member, then mail it to the address below.
The American Red Cross has partnered with Pitney Bowes to deliver 1 million holiday cards as part of their "Holiday Mail for Heroes" program.
To participate, mail the card to:
Holiday Mail for Heroes
PO Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456
Some important guidelines to keep in mind:
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 you sign your cards and use generic salutations such as "Dear Service Member."
Do not include personal information like your home address or email, and do not enclose any letters or other inserts (including photos, glitter, confetti, etc).
All cards received may be used in program publicity efforts.
