Holiday Mail for Heroes

I'm sure that you have all gotten those emails about sending a Christmas card to a recovering soldier or war veteran. I support this idea 100%. I am extremely proud of our men and women serving in the military (both at home and overseas.) They display an exceptional amount of heroism, courage, and bravery that I could never match. Take a little time and remember them when you are sending out your Christmas cards this year. The information below is sponsored by Red Cross and taken directly from their website at http://www.redcross.org/email/saf/.

Holiday Mail for Heroes

From the front lines to the home front, the American Red Cross provides service members, their families and veterans with the care and assistance they need.

The Red Cross is partnering with Pitney Bowes this holiday season for the Holiday Mail for Heroes campaign. For the second year in a row, we’re collecting holiday cards to distribute to American service members, veterans and their families in the United States and around the world. Pitney Bowes is generously donating technology, resources and postage to make this holiday card program possible.

Our goal is to collect and distribute one million holiday cards to spread holiday cheer and facilitate thanks to these brave individuals and families.

Please send cards to this address, following the guidelines listed on the website:
