- Use the correct zip code for the soldier's location.
- If you're unsure of the soldier's address, you can contact the soldier's unit or the American Red Cross for assistance.
- Consider using a care package service, such as AnySoldier or Operation Gratitude, which can help you send care packages to soldiers overseas.
Remember to always check with the soldier or their unit before sending a care package or letter to ensure that it is allowed and to get any specific instructions or guidelines.
