Troops Overseas and the USPS

Do you have a solider overseas? Send your love and appreciation to them and make their day! Thousands of miles separate your solider and you, so take some time out of your day and send them a care package.


The United States Postal Service has guidelines and restrictions, so see the below link before heading to your local post office:
