Christmas Cards for Soldiers

FAQs

• What is the Holiday Mail for Heroes Program?
  The Red Cross Holiday Mail for Heroes program enables Americans to “Give Something That Means Something” this holiday season. We are inviting the public to send cards of thanks, encouragement and holiday cheer to members of our U.S. Armed Forces, veterans and military families, many of whom will be far away from home this holiday season.
• Cards are not addressed to anyone specific, so who gets these cards?
  Participating Red Cross chapters will determine how to best distribute cards to service members, veterans and family members in their local communities, across the nation and around the world. Cards may be delivered individually, included in care packages or displayed at common venues in military installations and hospitals.
• Will my card be distributed to our troops stationed overseas?
  Cards are distributed to hundreds of locations domestically and around the world, including military installations, military and VA medical facilities and veterans organizations. Please understand that it is difficult to determine which cards will be sent overseas and which will be sent domestically.

• When addressing your card--Dear Service Member, Veteran, or Military Family Member”
• Be sure to use the hashtag #holidaymail.
