Which holiday?

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

The Military Postal Service Agency has set the following deadlines for holiday mail:

Parcel Post, Nov. 13; Space Available, Nov. 28; Parcel-Airlift Mail, Dec. 4; Priority and First-Class Letters or Cards, Dec. 11.

Those dates also should be observed when sending mail from most overseas locations to the United States as well..

FYI. Our troops need Christmas cheer this year. Cards and care packages must be addessed to a specific person. Please ask the Canteen or FoxHole Crews for names and/or tips, or Freepmail me or one of our awesome FR military members, Veterans, or military family members.

Thanks for the post. One of the best memories I had while being deployed is recieving packages from home. Christmas was extra special.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7, 2003 -- If you want make sure your holiday packages arrive to

I don't know any soldiers serving overseas, but would like to send someone a package in time for Christmas. Do you have an address for that?

stanz, I'm afraid I don't know any soldiers serving overseas either... Can any FReepers help us out? :-)

Bumping to remind lurkers of the deadline...

[McGavin999]

Oh boy, that means I've got to do my Christmas shopping this next week. In addition to the Christmas presents, I thought I'd also send some decorations for a Christmas "tree". My guys are in the desert, I hope they can scare up a bush or something to decorate.

[VOA]

just a reminder to posters/lurkers that here's a chance to satiate that charitable impulse...
here's the bottom-line from the article:

If you want make sure your holiday packages arrive to service members
overseas on time, mail them by Nov. 13.

Otherwise, your package could very well be on the proverbial "slow boat to China,"...

Make sure our best-and-brightest have something to lighten up their holiday away from home!

[VOA]

Saturday publicity bump!
Time for me to go watch that U. of Oklahoma v. Oklahoma State U. football game (war, actually!)

[VOA]

Bump...
and a reminder to the forum that NOVEMBER 13 is the general deadline for mailing
holiday care-packages.
SO...that means we're coming up on the last shopping weekend for our folks serving
in about 160 countries around the globe
