'Any SERVICE-MEMBER'
WEB SITES ANNOUNCED
The Department
of Defense recently announced alternatives to the "Any Servicemember" and "Operation Dear Abby" letter-writing programs,
which have been suspended indefinitely in the wake of anthrax mail attacks. Anyone may send messages of support to military
service-members by contacting one of three Web sites. These sites allow participants to select from one or all branches of
the military. Since all messages are viewed on the Web, the military's regular e-mail service is not affected.
" Operation Dear Abby" was founded by the popular newspaper
advice columnist and has delivered mail to servicemembers overseas during the holiday season for more than 17 years. The "Any
Service- member" mail program began during Operation Desert Shield in 1990 and continued to grow during operations in Bosnia
in 1995.
