I came across the item below on 'anysoldier.com'. Not sure if you've heard about this. My Congressman is a BIG supporter of our troops but I don't see his name on the list (shown on anysoldier.com) so I'll call on Monday.
22 March:
House Bill H.R.1439, To provide for free mailing privileges for personal correspondence and parcels sent to members of the Armed Forces serving on active duty in Iraq or Afghanistan. Information on this HERE.
There are a LOT of Congressmen not listed as supporting this. Is your's listed?
H.R.1439
Title: To provide for free mailing privileges for personal correspondence and parcels sent to members of the Armed Forces serving on active duty in Iraq or Afghanistan.

If this happens, it would be FANTASTIC!
I wonder if we will be notified if and when it passes?
