WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Kristi Noem today participated in an American Red Cross letter-writing campaign to our men and women overseas this holiday season and encouraged South Dakotans to participate.

“Our men and women serving abroad are spending this holiday season away from their families and loved ones, and showing our gratitude for their sacrifice is especially important,” said Rep. Noem. “I know South Dakotans deeply appreciate the sacrifices the members of our military make for our freedom, and I encourage anyone wanting to say ‘thank you’ to send a letter saying so.”

Anyone wishing to send a letter to our troops abroad need only to send their letter or letters to the following address before December 7, 2012: Holiday Mail for Heroes, P.O. Box 5456, Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456.
