Right now all I have is his name, but if I get the name of the guys & ladies in his unit, I’ll post that info as well.
For now, all that is asked is those who want to, just send a card or a letter-you’re more than welcome to include your email address-many of these people love to write back. But no gifts or care packages are anything are requested at this time.
1stLt Joseph Mazzara USMC
1/10, Battery B
Unit 73330
FPO AE 09510-3330
Count me in! I ‘adopted’ 2 soldiers a few months ago and I love to do this. Its something that feels small to us but such an encouragement to them.
As a former sailor in the Navy and as someone who has a twin in the Army who’s routinely deployed… I want to say thank you for this. I’m going to have Monkey make him a card tomorrow and I’ll write him a letter tonight.
Perfect timing! I’ll be doing my Christmas cards soon and I’ll send one his way 🙂
Question – Would one postage stamp suffice? I’ve never mailed a card to a military address.
Vixen,
I was also curious about this, as I’d never sent a letter to FPO/AFO before. It appears from USPS website (I tried to calculate postage for standard letter) that standard postage rates apply for FPO/AFO addresses. Shi–please correct me if I’m completely off here :).
I hope this helps!
Generally APO stuff stuff is standard, but I’ll find out for sure…
Kelley is the lady who passes these names onto me, so if you see a response from Kelley? *G* generally safe to assume she knows what she is talking about.
HI all, poor Shiloh helps me out with my soldier requests but then I leave her to answer you all.
This is a new name just got an hour or so ago. I have little information, but a card or letter is just a 44 cent stamp. If you want to do a package you can, but all I can tell you is they all share. When I have more news I will let Shiloh know.
thanks I have had a lot of Shiloh’s readers help me in the past with my ever growing list of troops and I and they appreciate all that you do.

😉 I’m just clueless Kelley… thank you!
Shiloh, What a wonderful thing to do. I will try to get a card out soon. If you have names or info for soldier requests feel free to pass it on.
Thanks Kelley!
Hi all,
This sounds like an awesome thing to do and I would like to participate but have never done anything like this before and don’t know what to send. Are we talking like a holiday card or like a care package. Just looking for some suggestions. Thanks 🙂

Cool! I will add him to my Christmas card list. 🙂
Hugs!

JoBean,
Right now, only letters are requested rather than any care packages. I think a holiday card would be greatly appreciated if you wanted to add Lt. Mazzara to your Christmas/holiday card list. Thanks for the enthusiasm! If care packages are requested in the future, Shiloh will let us know :). Happy Holidays!
