edited - Holiday mail for Heroes

I edited the message with new info -
Cut and pasted from Snopes...

Recent years have seen several Internet-based grass roots promotions of programs that enable the public to send letters, cards, gifts, and other greetings to U.S. troops serving overseas or recovering in stateside hospitals, particularly around the holiday season. Unfortunately, many such promotions have not worked out as well as hoped due to insufficient organization, deadlines, security concerns, and other factors.

For the 2008 holiday season, the Red Cross is sponsoring a "Holiday Mail for Heroes" program to distribute holiday cards to service members, a program that encompasses not just troops who are recovering in military hospitals but also service members stationed throughout the U.S. and abroad, as well as veterans and their families:

The American Red Cross will sponsor a national "Holiday Mail for Heroes" campaign to receive and distribute holiday cards to service members and veterans both in the US and aboard. Holiday Mail for Heroes, which begins on Nov. 11, Veteran's Day, is a follow-up to the successful 2007 effort that resulted in the collection and distribution of over 600,000 cards to hospitalized service members. This year's program will expand its reach to not only wounded servicemembers but also veterans and their families. The goal is to collect and distribute 1 million pieces of holiday mail.

"As we enter this holiday season — a time to celebrate with family and friends — it's important to remember the thousands of men and women who serve our nation in harm's way and those who are recovering in military and veterans hospitals," said Army Col. Norvell V. Coots, commander, Walter Reed Health Care System. "The Holiday Mail for Heroes program is a wonderful outreach effort and a great way to acknowledge the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform."  
As noted on the "Holiday Mail for Heroes" section of the American Red Cross' web site,

Our goal is to collect and distribute one million holiday cards to spread holiday cheer and facilitate thanks to these brave individuals and families.

Please send cards to this address, following the guidelines listed below:

Ohhh...I'm glad you included the zip code. I got this message on myspace yesterday but there was no zip. I just did 4 cards and was going to google the zip. Thanks

I googled it and found updated info on the snopes website.  So I updated the orginal message with the new info.

 I did this last year and got my card returned to me.  Due to disgruntled Americans sending anti-war messages to soldiers via the Christmas card exchange, they no longer pass out cards not addressed to a specific soldier.  I don't think they have changed their policy this year, but you can Google it to find out.  Sorry to put a damper on what seems like a good thing.
