1543 Well That's a Fine Howdy-do

Monday, November 12, 2007

You can't send holiday cards or gifts to anonymous soldiers or vets. Not any more, anyway. The US Post Office will not accept mail addressed to "Any Soldier", and Walter Reed and other military hospitals will not distribute cards or packages received unless they are addressed to a specific patient.

Anonymous mailings are returned or discarded unopened, even if it's only a postcard.

You can, however, send cards and gifts through several organizations.

See http://www.snopes.com/politics/christmas/soldiercards.asp for the explanation, and for alternate addresses.
