Postal Service Won't Accept Holiday Mail Addressed "Any Service Member" Or "A Recovering American Soldier"
WEST VIRGINIA....
While many people in the Tri-State want to help support our troops this holiday season, the U.S. Army reports that cards addressed to “A Recovering American Soldier” with a Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, D.C., address cannot be accepted by the hospital. Neither the Department of Defense nor the U.S. Postal Service will accept packages or letters that are addressed to "Any Service Member" or "A Recovering American Soldier."
Those interested in sending items to soldiers are encouraged to send letters to an American Red Cross program by Friday, December 10th. The address is Holiday Mail for Heroes; P.O. Box 5456; Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456.
