Desert Mail Call
Mail means motivation to our troops. Letters from home are saved and read over and over again. Here, 1/6 Marines sort mail that arrived at their location via a resupply convoy. Even though they are in the middle of Afghanistan in a combat operation, mail is a priority and the Marines received their mail mere days after it arrived in country.
Show your support and appreciation to our troops deployed overseas by sending notes, letters, postcards and drawings to “Desert Mail Call”. This effort is designed to allow the communities across the country to directly impact the morale, welfare, and pride of the Marines and other service-members stationed abroad. Mail will be added to care packages and sent periodically to the troops via Marine Corps Community Services in 29 Palms. If you have 10 minutes to write a letter or send a card, it would bring a touch of home to those who are far away.
Please send your mail to:
P.O. Box 6145
Twentynine Palms, CA 92278

How may I find the correct address for the MWSS-374? I would like to send a word of encouragement to the CO.
