This is such a very simple request, and one that I am sure will be welcomed, and appreciated greatly.

Thank you so much for posting the address.

Up the ante. Enclose a prepaid phone card. Or two.

[so.cal.fan]

That's a wonderful idea, Tom.
I'm sure many of our paceadvantage board members will do just that.

This is a good idea guys, but it doesn't work. The military will not deliver unadressed mail to soldiers, mainly to prevent random hate mail. Please see explanation and what you can do to help if so inclined here

Are you psychic. I was just wondering where to send something, thanks.

[DJofSD]

The idea that Tom posted to send prepaid calling cards is still an excellent one, and, it is still valid and acceptable. The mailing address is slightly different from what socalfan posted. Please see the correct information at the very bottom of the page from the link above at the snopes.com site.

Thanks, OTM AL
I guess we didn't consider the thought there are those out there who would send hate mail, but SIGH....I'm sure there is.
Your link does provide us with information on how to help and show support for these soldiers.
A little extra effort, but far better than spending that extra $20 on people at work or neighbors you don't even like!

How can I get some hair dye to Pres Musharraff?

[OTM Al]

Hey all. For those of you interested in this program there has been a new way to send cards added
