Write a Member of our Troops
From The Great American Handbook
Syndicated columnist Abigail Van Buren, also known as "Dear Abby," has used
her influence for years to promote goodwill and cheer to the men and women
of the Armed Forces during the holiday season. Each year special mailing
addresses were created so Abby's loyal readers could send personal holiday
greetings to military personnel around the world.
Prior to 9-11-01, the Pentagon encouraged civic-minded civilians to reach
out and show their appreciation to our men and women in uniform with
personal letters. Unfortunately, security measures have curtailed most
letter writing programs, so Abby has now gone digital. Patriotic Americans
can now send email messages to our troops by visiting
OperationDearAbby.net. The service is quick, easy and free.
Write to a Military Newspaper
A great way to communicate your appreciation to our troops at large is to
write a letter to the editor of a service-oriented newspaper.
The Army Times, Navy Times, and Air Force Times all operate from the same
address:
6885 Commercial Drive,
Springfield, Virginia 22159.
The Stars & Stripes, a daily newspaper published exclusively for U.S.
military stationed overseas, has two locations:
write to the editor of the Far East edition at:
Pacific Stars & Stripes,
APO
JA 96337.
Reach the editor of the European edition at:
