Sure it will delivered. The 23rd was the Holiday. But most likely a little later,all the mail people are just like the rest of us. A little heavier, tired and not moving to fast. LOL

If you deliver them to your post office EARLY the day before, then there is a fair chance it would get delivered on the desired day.\n\nOften there is a time cut-off for delivery (especially if you are using a mailbox drop, read the pickup times sticker).  In small towns you may want to add a day or two because in some cases the mail goes to another city to be sorted and returned, so if your letter gets to the other town after their next-day cut-off there will be a delay.\n\nOur sorting system may get bad press, but I read a while back about how Italians had better luck if they mailed their letters first to Switzerland because of the demands by participation in the international postal organization they belonged to.  One member of the Italian parliment asked if the head of the Italian post office could promise "same month delivery".  He couldn't.\n\nGood luck.

Sometimes not too long.  I could get packages in about two or three weeks as a norm, when I was in Iraq.  Other times, packages mailed from the same place to me would take over a month.

i dont think you can address a letter to "any serviceman " these days. during the viet nam war[ we just keep having them] you could do that.  check at your post office or school or local public official many communities have organisation that do just that. and good for you

no.\n\nthe post office is a government run institution and is run in the same manner as the dmv. if you mail a letter, it will take a day to get picked up, sorted, routed, resorted, and delivered as soon as the mail person comes back from their lunch break. \n\nits very similar to standing in line at the dmv. you wait in line, sometimes for hours, wait for a window to open up, and just when you are inching ever so closer to the window, the clerk gets up from their window desk, slaps a sign that says "back in 3 days" and then disappears into the back room never to be seen again. \n\noh, and if you mail a letter, make sure you use proper postage or it won't get there at all.

Every single post office in the nation is probably going to be open until midnight today.  Just get them done as soon as possible, though.

I am a veteran myself (8 years US Army) and like your idea. Perhaps it could be a federal law that any Honorably Discharged veteran gets Veterans Day off......with pay!!!!!

Remember a lot of stuff disappears in the mail to our troops. At least two of the packages I sent to my son never got to him. Be sure to use insurance if you send anything valuable.

Yes, I feel that only people that served in the Military should get the day off. It was passed as appreciation of veterans anyway.

My brother served in Iraq until July when he was killed there.  But one of the things he always mentioned was the letters, cards, and little tokens of appreciate that total strangers sent to the troops.  A little something like a card can brighten someone's day.  When I was going through boot camp I got cards from people I didnt know but appreciated them just the same. Especially with the holidays coming up.

I'm in the Navy. I've had friends send me cookies, and cakes, and banana bread, ET from NY to the North Arabian Sea. They almost always arrived fresh. You just send it regular mail, in a box postage determined by weight.
