The holidays are a special time of year when people around the world gather with family and loved ones. But it is also a great time of year to remember the many men and women, their families and veterans who may be separated or far from home.
Between Nov. 2 and Dec. 7, you are invited to send holiday cards with messages of thanks and support. Red Cross volunteers and Pitney Bowes will screen, sort and deliver your cards to military bases, veteran and military hospitals across the U.S. and around the world.
Visit http://www.redcross.org/holidaymail for details on how you can send a card. Once you’ve read the guidelines, mail your card by Dec. 7 to:
Holiday Mail for Heroes
P. O. Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456
(Cards postmarked after Dec. 7 cannot be guaranteed delivery.)
Spread the word to your friends, family and neighbors, and let’s send a bit of holiday cheer to our service men and women, veterans and their families around the world in gratitude for their service.
Patrick Mockler, chairman, Board of Directors
American Red Cross, La. Capital Area Chapter
