Each care package includes a card or letter addressed to "Dear Marine". We need cards and letters from you, the American people that support our troops.

Please consider working with your office, school, church or organization to make cards or write letters to include in each package. The Marines are especially touched by homemade cards from children, or letters that let them know what's going on back home: what books, movies, and music are coming out, or what your day-to-day life is like. Or write a letter to let them know what you're doing here at home to support the troops!

Mail letters to:

MarineParents.com, Inc.
P O Box 1115
Columbia, MO 65205-1115

Address letters to "Dear Marine". Please do not seal cards and letters in individual envelopes for delivery to the Marines. Put cards and letters inside a larger mailing envelope to send to MarineParents.com.

Your help and commitment is greatly appreciated by the Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan! Thank you!
