Do service men and woman  enjoy receiving snail mail?

Yes, the single men and women really enjoy it. They have organizations that specialize in coordinating pen-pals for the service members. Try www.americasupportsyou.mil. They have many programs to help them out and keep in touch. Good Luck!

You are a tease.   I can read between the lines of yours.  You just want to collect the mailing addresses of some of us.

Yes I am pretty sure you can do that, I don't recommend it but you can do it.  I used to work in the mailroom at a university and packages would come with lots and lots of stamps and stuff on them so I can imagine you could do the same with letters.

You should be able to send her mail through the military interim mail system

If I'm understanding your question, you want to send a care package to military personnel that you don't know, not a loved one.  Please check my source link.  It's for AnySoldier.  On the site, you can find men and women from all branches of the military that are asking for care packages or just penpals.  Some of them are unit Commanders or 1SG asking for items that the troops in their unit need.  It will also give you the address of that person to send the package to.\n\nI don't blame you for not wanting to send cash.  It's sometimes confusing as to what organizations you can or can't trust.  This site, you send the mail directly to the military person.  If you'd like to know of other sites to support the troops, drop me a message here and I'll give you some links.\n\nI hope this is what you were asking for and that it helps.  Thank you for all you're doing to support the troops.  Don't forget, the holidays are coming.  Small trees or stockings mean the world to them overseas.  Also, I recommend that mail early for the holidays.  Normal mail service can take from 2 weeks to 2 months to get there depending on location and service.

The United States armed forces cannot recieve cards to "any serviceman" this year due to fears of terrorism.  Instead, the Pentagon has set up a secure email system that allows anyone to send a message to "any serviceman." Just pick the branch of the service, type your message and click send.\n\nThe story behind the "to any serviceman" cards:\nSince 1967, when Sgt. Billy Thompson wrote Abigail Van Buren and mentioned that a wonderful Christmas present to our armed forces would be "just a letter from home," American citizens have been sending holiday wishes to servicemen and women stationed overseas every holiday season. Dubbed "Operation Dear Abby," the program has brought holiday joy to hundreds of thousands of U.S. military personnel deployed away from home.\n\nTo access the site, visit http://anyservicemember.navy.mil/\nMilitary Exchange Prepaid Calling Cards\nThe Department of Defense Military Exchanges have been authorized to sell the following prepaid calling cards to individuals and organizations who wish to purchase these cards for our troops serving overseas in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.\nhttps://thor.milexch.com/scs/default.aspx\n\n12 Ways to Support Our Troops\nBy Lance Helgeson\nhttp://www.aarp.org/bulletin/yourlife/Articles/a2004-12-07-12support.html\n\nYou can adopt a specific or random service person for a prayer circle.\n\nhttp://www.presidentialprayerteam.net/troopsadopt.php  \n\nYou can write to a service person.\n\nhttp://anyservicemember.navy.mil\nThere are dozen of organizations, which allow you to purchase items and present it to a service person, but there are other options you might consider.  Visit the closest VA Hospital or for something really unique try: \nwww.snipersonline.org (They ask for contributions to buy items that the Government refuses or that is out of stock.\n\nGod Bless You and The Southern People

I had 2 pen pals from Japan, when I was in the 7th grade of Ele. School;  then, while older--in my 40's and 50's had about 20 pen pals from all across USA! I need to write some of them right now; many of them do not have Computers and Email.---  My favorites:  postal mail, but email sure does save on POSTAGE.

I did do that on that stamps.com to put on all the letters I send my husband in Iraq. There some of me and him, some just me, some of me and our son, and some of his doggy they came out so cute and he loves seeing the mail come like that

I think that is a really nice idea - besides, that way you know that the person/people receiving it are needy. And you can witness their joy from afar when you know who recieved the gift. What a thoughtful gift.

If you want to send a care package or be a penpal, the best site to use is AnySoldier.  There, you will find troops from all branches of the military and all ranks and both sexes listed.  It will state if they want a penpal or what items they or their unit could use in a care package.  It will also give their address so that you can send it directly to them.\n\nThank you for your willingness to support our troops.  Morale and knowing the people back home care is a huge part of their lives.  Please just be cautious of websites asking for donations and such.  Even during this time and for this cause, there are many scams out there.  \n\nIf you'd like links to any other sites, please leave a message here and I'll post them for you.  I try not to post all of them because there's quite an extended list, but most of them are ones that we in the military are told are safe and trusted.  I usually just post the source link for what I think is best suited for what's being asked.\n\nThanks again from and Army wife of 18 years and 3 deployments!!

i was on a soldiers angels web group. for them, i would get a priority flat rate box, and fill it to the brim with everything!! even the little gaps i would put little candies in. they love things like what the person above mentioned. but also they love cleaning items...such as shavers, toothpaste, and playing cards, puzzle books, stationary, anything & everything! it's thoughtful of you asking this. to be honest, with the fact that they really have nothing, than anything from home is a blessing to them.\nand remember the one's who do not ever get mail. it's sad. they have no family, and they are alone...while others get mail, they get nothing. if you're interested, you can send to one of these unfortunate ones by posting the address, then mention for the name "a lonely soldier". then the sergeant guy (or whoever, not clear on it) gives it to someone who is in need & never gets mail. i have my kids send pictures they drew & stuff. it's all the little stuff that counts.

Probably not. It depends on the route, and unless they are subbing in for someout out, they cannot have a route that takes them b their own home. Too much potential for abuse.\n\nHowever, since most municiple sorting facilities have the carriers doing some sorting, it is very possible they will sort their own mail at some point.

What do you need them for? If you are sending mail you may want to just send it to "office manager", "head nurse", etc. It's not quite as personal but with the turnover in help it might be better.
