Military mail has slowed oversees,
and "any Service Member" letters are no longer accepted
by the United States Postal service. However, Dear Abby, along
with the Department of Defense, has continued the mission of
communicating with Military Personnel by setting up a web site
to write to the Service Members stationed oversees. This is just
one more small way to help the Morale of our Troops overseas.
