Challenging Everyone I Know To A Boxing Match [View All]

[K8-EEE]

Did you know that the groovy new Flat Rate boxes from the post office can be sent to APO/military addresses overseas?

It's true! Even though it's marked "domestic use only," you can send it to an APO.

Regardless of weight -- anything you can fit in the box is $7.70!! That includes the box itself.

There is a flat box (that looks like a flat Fed Ex Box) and a small rectangular box.

The sad fact is that mail to our soldiers overseas has drastically fallen off in recent months. I suppose the novelty has worn off. But please remember, the absolute highlight of their day is MAIL and packages really make their day, you would be surprised how small things (baby wipes, magazines, chapstick) can make a big difference in brightening up their day.

I've been collecting magazines from my hair salon and my neighbors and my dentists' office and sending them in the flat box.

In particular I've been sending them mostly to women soldiers since so much of what they have there is guy oriented (car mags, muscle mags, Maxim etc.) and let me tell you our female soldiers LOVE getting back issues of the Enquirer, Globe, etc. Love it. I got a thank you note from one of them saying it was like Christmas Day getting the stuff my hair place was throwing out anyhow. My total investment was under $8 but I really felt like a million dollars getting their thank you note!

So stop by your local PO, you don't have to stand in line to get a flat box -- you can take it home along with the white customs form, bring it back when it's all filled out, very easy!

Pick a soldier's address from the requests at anysoldier.com.

Tell everybody you know, at least once a month, support the troops -- GO POSTAL!
