If you would like a like a response back, include your address at the bottom of your letter or postcard.
Place your letter in and envelope and address it with the SOLDIERS name exactly as written (below). Include your return address on the outside of the envelope.
Place a postage stamp on your letter or postcard and place it in the mail.
