Just a public service announcement.

The deadline for sending holiday mail to military in Iraq and Afghanistan is Friday.

If you plan to mail a Christmas card or gift to someone serving with the U.S. military in Iraq or Afghanistan, time is running short to ensure it arrives by the holiday.

The U.S. Postal Service this week said Friday is the deadline for sending first-class mail and Priority Military Mail to those serving in Iraq or Afghanistan.
