Attention all RGV Troops: Send Letters Home
Christmas Day edition will include letters from the frontlines
With the holidays approaching and our country still at war, our thoughts turn to those separated by duty and service at a time when we gather together in the warmth of home and love of our families.
For the fourth year, The Brownsville Herald is asking Rio Grande Valley servicemen and women to send holiday messages and photos to the folks at home.
The Brownsville Herald’s “Letters Home” campaign has grown with each year bringing more messages of love, hope and humor. This year we’re renewing our campaign that now includes messages from family and friends to military service members overseas.
Soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines can send messages and photos via e-mail to the Brownsville Herald for publication in our Dec. 25 edition.
Family, friends and supporters can also send messages to those in service. These letters to our troops will be published online Christmas Day.
It’s a small gesture, compared to the gift of service offered year-round by thousands of Valley families, but one that we hope will help bring us all closer together during the holidays.
Letters, messages and photos can be sent by e-mail to The Brownsville Herald at letters@brownsvilleherald.com.
The subject line should read: “LETTERS HOME.” Submissions will be accepted through Dec. 18. Please include full name, rank, branch of service, age, hometown and where you are stationed.
Friends and family in military service are never far from the hearts and minds of their loved ones “back home.” We are thankful for their service, pray for their safety and hope for their speedy return.
