We honor our heroes... for just a FEW of their many honorable traits!

Brave.

Service members stand in harm's way, at great risk to their own personal safety - willingly.

Sacrificial.

Warriors give up family, careers, and the comforts of everyday America in order to serve us.

Strong.

Physically and mentally - and in impossible situations. They're modern day superheroes!

Honorable.

Our heroes make us proud every day in how they do their jobs with dignity and integrity.

Patriotic

All this is done with great love for our nation, her people, and the freedoms we have.

Welcome heroes! Thank you for your service; your courage and dedication
inspire us all!

OUR HEROES

are serving in all branches of service (Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, National Guard).

OUR CARDS

have been deployed to service members in 11 countries as well as to ships at sea:

Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Kosovo, Bahrain, Serbia, Djibouti, Korea, Qatar, Kyrgyzstan, and Pakistan.

SENDING LETTERMAIL

is free for deployed service members, so we don't need to provide stamps; they simply write "FREE MAIL" in place of the postage.

Mail from home is the #1 request from deployed warriors; adults and children alike can encourage heroes by writing notes for us to include in our boxes!

About our hero contacts

Operation Write Home sends cards to hero contacts deployed abroad. They're a self-selected group; they've either signed up their unit to receive cards, or a loved one or supporter has done so on their behalf!

Typically a contact signs up on behalf of their unit, sharing the cards with those around them. Often the cards end up at a chapel, coffeehouse, or MWR (Morale, Wellness, and Rec center) where warriors gather for relaxation. Other times they're distributed in living quarters, or in any other circumstances they find themselves! Once we heard of a cardmaker's husband who came upon some remote warriors in a tent with a folding table and a box of our cards!

Operation Write Home shippers attempt to keep contacts stocked with cards, once we hear back that they were received and they desire more; that might be a new box every 5-8 weeks. We'll keep up with a unit as long as they're deployed if they wish! A number of our contacts have even passed us on to the replacements coming behind them, so there are some addresses we've been sending to regularly for a few years!
