I don't know which unit or which post they belong to. As soon as we find out that information, we can get in touch with their Public Affairs Officer (PAO) and get an address where we can send cards for their families.

I pinged AntiJen, as a former Air Force PAO, she knows her way around those folks!!

Hi Jinxie, good idea about the cards. Suggest you send the cards in care of the PA office or the unit commander at the post where the soldiers were stationed, and ask that the cards be forwarded to the family members.

I can get various military items on a wholesale basis from a friend and I have been toying with the idea of periodically sending out sympathy cards with a pin or patch from that persons division or something similiar.
However, I am not sure it would even get to the family and I am not sure it would even be appreciated. It might even freak them out or upset them more.

For example, I have black hawk patches and pins. But if someone dies in a black hawk crash I don't think I would feel too good about sending that in a card.
