Have you ever seen the movie The Christmas Card? It’s a great movie (my in-laws probably watch it about 15 times around Christmas), and in the movie a soldier receives a Christmas card from a woman that touches him so much that he visits the town she’s from when he’s on leave.
While it’s fiction that a soldier would visit you after receiving a holiday card, there are many soldiers stationed abroad who are lonely during the holiday season (as well as family members and veterans). They are away from their family and friends at home, or they may not even have family.
While we celebrate Veterans Day today to honor the men and women that have served our country, let’s also do what we can to give back. Pitney Bowes and the American Red Cross have teamed up again this year for the Holiday Mail for Heroes program.
Basically, all you need to do is write a note in a holiday card and send it to unique PO box. Pitney Bowes will collect the cards, make sure they contain no hazardous materials and forward your card to a service member, their families, and veterans. The cards will be collected now through 12/7. Click here to see all the details.
