If you wish to participate, submit your holiday card to the address below.

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

To ensure your card will reach a service member, you should follow these guidelines:

•All cards being sent in for the 2011 Holiday Mail For Heroes program should be postmarked no later than Friday, December 9, 2011.
•Ensure that all cards are signed.
•Use generic salutations such as "Dear Service Member." Cards addressed to specific individuals can not be delivered through this program.
•Only cards are being accepted. Do not send letters.
•Do not include email or home addresses on the cards, as the program is not meant to foster pen pal relationships.
•Do not include inserts of any kind, including photos, as these items will be removed during the reviewing process.
•We encourage participants to mail as many cards as they are comfortable sending. If you are mailing a large quantity, please bundle the cards and place them in large mailing envelopes or use a flat rate box from the post office. Each card does not need its own envelope, as cards will be removed from all envelopes before distribution.
•Please refrain from sending holiday cards with glitter. Many of these cards will be delivered to military and veterans medical facilities and the glitter could interfere with a patient's recovery
