I’ve been running the Social Networking Postcard Project for several weeks now. A couple dozen postcards have gone out. If you haven’t asked for one, Friday is the day. Just direct message me on Twitter.
Today though, I’d like to point you to another postcard project, one run by eMailOurMilitary, Postcards Across America. This project is both easy to participate in and doesn’t require you to invest in a fortune in postage.
What’s it take? Buy up a bunch of postcards, write a message to ‘Dear Soldier’, or something similar. (Avoid saying sailor, marine etc. These may go to any branch.) Stuff that bunch of postcards in an oversized envelope and send them to:
eMail Our MilitaryPostcard Project
8004 NW 154 Street, Suite 344
Miami Lakes, FL. 33016
Yep. It’s that easy. What’s holding you back? Can’t find postcards? I’ve had the best luck at tourist attractions, Hallmark, and Wal-mart stores. Your local college might have some as well.
If you’ve ever been away on duty or a long trip, you know already how much mail means. Please consider joining this project. Have you already jumped in? Come tell us about it! Share some snapshots and stories.

Thank you so much for spotlighting this campaign in conjunction with yours! I love it. I hope everyone interested in social media gets involved. What’s more social than reaching out to someone with a nice postcard? I know our troops appreciate it and so do I.
You’re the best!
I LOVE this! I think I have a new project!
[...] longer than usual, there’s been some talk of how to show support and good will to our troops. Todd had a post a few days ago about a cool way to just show your support with postcards and say thanks to some American soldiers. [...]
Love the post card projects – Send Out Cards is a great system to help streamline the process.
I'd like to copy cat your project if you don't mind – great idea!
