Today is Veteran's Day (and 11/11/11 - make a wish!)
Our client Pitney Bowes and the American Red Cross have teamed up again this year to organize Holiday Mail for Heroes, a program that allows Americans the opportunity to send holiday greetings to men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces, our nation’s veterans and their families.
What better way to say thanks and spread some cheer to America’s heroes this year than by sending a card (details below). Or, if you don’t have time (or paper and markers) and prefer to go the digital route, this year Pitney Bowes has also created an online card making feature. You can send a card with a personal message of thanks and holiday cheer to a service member for $1. The new website, www.mailforheroes.com, offers four holiday card designs that will remain accessible until December 9. The cards will be sent directly to the Holiday Mail for Heroes P.O. Box in Maryland for distribution.
For reasons of processing and safety, participants are asked to refrain from sending “care packages,” monetary gifts, items with glitter or card inserts. For more information and card requirements, please visit www.redcross.org/holidaymail.
Cards can be mailed to the following address by December 9th:
Holiday Mail for Heroes P.O. Box 5456 Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456
Again, on behalf of my colleagues at CJP, I’d like to say a very heartfelt thank you to all of our active and retired servicemen and women. We appreciate your sacrifices and salute you today, and every day.
