HOLIDAY MAIL FOR HEROES

My employer, Pitney Bowes, has teamed up with the Red Cross to deliver some holiday cheer to  American service members, veterans and their families in the United States and around the world. Last year over 650 thousand cards and letters written by ordinary Americans were collected and distributed among military hospitals and rehabilitation centers all over the US. This year the goal is one million cards.

Will you join us? Think about how special it must feel to get a card or a letter from a total stranger thanking you for your service and wishing you pace. All it takes is a piece of paper.

Send cards/letters to:

Holiday Mail for Heroes
PO Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456

all cards must be postmarked by December 10, 2008.
