Wow, that's sweet. I didn't know you could write to "any soldier" and have it get there. I know my little boy would love to write to soldiers; he has written several painstaking letters to imaginary soldiers but we never knew we could send them. Does anyone know where to send them to be delivered to any soldier who is interested? We can't offer romance but this kid's letters would warm anyone's heart.
You can't anymore. This was Gulf War 1...now you have to have a name on the envelope.
"I didn't know you could write to "any soldier" and have it get there."
In the good old days (before 9-11) you could do that, but security concerns have ended
that venerable program.
Now you must send letters/packages to a specific service-person and use their military
(usually "APO" or "FPO") address.
See post 3 above; Ragtime Cowgirl and friends can surely get you some specific service-persons
and their military address for you to write to.
And if you still need more addresses, you can find some at this page from my old
hometown newspaper (note that most are not if Iraq and Afghanistan; but I'm sure all
would get a lift from a well-meaning note).

If you write me offline I will give you my Air Force son's address and your son can write to him. He is on Kuwait and mail is not picked up to often. He does have access to email though.
