Make a Soldier's Holiday a Little Bit Brighter

First of all, thanks to my sister for this idea and for weeding through all the fine print and condensing it for me. 

Send cards to the Red Cross at the following address:

Holiday Mail For Heroes
Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD  20791-5456

The Red Cross would like to distribute 1 million pieces of mail this Holiday Season.  They will send them to active duty service members, wounded service members, veterans and the families of veterans.

Do NOT include a letter, photo(s), gift or phone cards; if you do, those things will be tossed before distribution.  (SECURITY REASONS)...  (There is another way to do those things and you must check out the Military website for instructions.)  This program is simply for Holiday Greetings~!

Each person can send up to 25 cards to the Red Cross.
If an Organization is sending the cards, they may send up to 50.  (Each of these cards have to pass “review”).

DO NOT put your Return Address or E-Mail address in the card.

Mail all your cards UNSEALED; this will make it easier for the Red Cross to "review" them before delivering them.

LAST, but not least, All Cards MUST BE POST-MARKED BY DECEMBER 10, 2008.  If they are post-marked later than that, they will be returned to you!!!!!

Have fun making the Holiday Season a little brighter for our Men/Women in Uniform (at home and abroad), Veterans, and Veterans Families AND our Wounded Veterans!
