RULES and GUIDELINES

  • All letters and/or cards will be screened for security reasons.
  • IF YOU ARE SENDING MORE THAN ONE LETTER/CARD DO NOT PLACE IN INDIVIDUAL ENVELOPES.
  • We reserve the right to eliminate those messages that are political in nature and that do not reflect a positive message in the spirit of National Military Appreciation Month.
  • Handmade cards are preferred but please follow the guidelines below.
  • If you are mailing letters/cards in bulk ( 100 or more from a school, company or organization), BUNDLE them in units of 100 using two rubber bands wrapped one lengthwise and the other widthwise. This aids us in sorting.

GUIDELINES FOR HANDMADE THANK YOU/APPRECIATION CARDS

  • Any size card will be accepted.
  • Please do not use glitter on cards
  • Unfortunately, candy or other food items cannot be accepted and should not be included or attached to cards.
  • Military personnel love to communicate with us! You can include your name, address or email address if you so desire.
  • Photos of the sender, sender’s family, church, or classroom participants can add a personal touch to your card. Photos must be appropriate.
  • The more positive the message the better! Care should be taken not to refer to anything that may cause grief or uneasiness to the military reader who may be serving active duty. (i.e., “I hope you don’t get killed” or “Do you miss your family?”)

CARDS/LETTERS THAT ARE NOT SENT PURSUANT TO THE GUIDELINES ABOVE MAY NOT BE DELIVERED. FOLLOW THE RULES CAREFULLY!!
