Since 1967, when Sgt. Billy Thompson wrote Abigail Van Buren and mentioned
that a wonderful Christmas present to our armed forces would be "just a
letter from home," American citizens have been sending holiday wishes to
servicemen and women stationed overseas every holiday season. Dubbed
"Operation Dear Abby," the program has brought holiday joy to hundreds of
thousands of U.S. military personnel deployed away from home.
Concerns about mail delivery have prompted the military to suspend this
year's letter-writing campaign. However, the United States Department of
the Navy's LifeLines2000 Services Network in association with SPAWAR
SCC-NCR is providing this private and secure online resource that will allow
you to send a Sailor, Marine, Soldier, Airman or Coast Guardsman a holiday
greeting. To send a message to our men and women in the armed forces,
please follow the address below.
Happy Holidays!
