Operation Postcard Some folks in chat came up with a cool idea for this month. Send postcards to konamouse in Iraq - from all over the US and the World!
She will display all the cards a wall in the hospital dining facility, sharing them with all the other military folks.
Standard postage to the US applies.
Address to:
Nutritional Medicine
332nd EMDG/EMDSS-Nut Med
APO AE 09315-9997
Please, no puzzles, websites, secret codes (unless the cards are inside an envelope).

Thanks you guys.
Please remember that this activity must expire at the end of the month. That is very important in this day & age of viral internet.

Will said postcards on the wall be showed in a picture? If so, I may just send up something from the Nowherelands of America.

ok. I'm an idiot;but, which month are we talking about being the end date? As this is the last day of March, I'm hoping I still have time to mail some postcards.

Yes, mailing the entire month of April.
And yes, pictures will be shown on the wall (not the writing).

Just an update. The wall is only half covered so I have extended the deadline until the end of May. If you haven't sent a postcard, it's not too late.

Pardon my ignorance, but I assume this needs to go to the post office and that I can't just slap a postcard stamp on there? Or can I?

Standard US postage works! APO is just like NYC. Stays within the US postal system.
The only time you have to go to the postoffice is if you are sending a package (cause you need a custom form if you are shipping any items).

I am not sure if postage has been raised for postcards, but there was a rate hike for postage on May 11, 2009. Smaller postcards are $.28 to send through the U.S. Postal Service, and larger postcards are $.44. Dunno if that's different from before, or what.
Just thought I'd mention it!
