Persons wishing to send gift packages, holiday cards, or letters to "Any Service Member" should refrain from doing so. The bar on such parcels that was put in place in 2001 is still in effect. However, there are still ways to send such donation packages. The Veterans of Foreign Wars will help; interested persons should contact a nearby VFW post in their area. Also, the Red Cross and the Pitney Bowes Corporation have embarked on a joint program that the Defense Department endorses.
