I do have about 30 days left. I asked my husband (Ryan Miller) to create a profile- you may see it coming your way. Thanks for helping me give back to the guards who serve so diligently her at GTMO. Their motto is "Honor Bound to Defend Freedom" and they do it well. Take care, Samantha S. Prince, SA

I have been receiving a steady stream of letters each week. Many of the authors of these letters of encouragement have written multiple times throughout the past few months. While the purpose of my request was to raise the morale of the guards working in the detention facilities here at Guantanamo Bay, I have found that by reading and distributing the letters I have been encouraged as well. It is inspiring how many have taken time out of their busy schedules and routines to write an encouraging letter. While it may sound cliché, it makes me proud to be an American. While much in our country and world seems unknown these days, I have seen first hand that there are many people who care about the emotional, spiritual and physical well-being of our troops. Thank you for your heartfelt letters of encouragement. I have approximately two months left in my deployment in which to hand out letters, but I know that seeing this outpouring of support for the troops will forever be a highlight of my deployment and service in the military. V/R, Samantha S. Prince, SA

Operation Thank You/ Mr. Bohlman, I received the box of over 3,000 letters of support from your organization yesterday. I wish I knew how to express to you my sincere thanks. In my wildest imagination I never expected to receive so many letters. I told the others in my unit that receiving the box, “made my year” -and I am being honest! I am working with the commanders to distribute the cards to the deployed personnel here. I called the public affairs office here at GTMO to highlight the outpouring of support. They plan to run an article in the base paper later this week. I will send you the link to the online version of the newspaper once it is published. Thank you so much. There are many areas of the base that are off limits to photography. Taking pictures of the guards is not allowed, so I apologize for not being able to send you pictures of them receiving the cards. You have my word that the cards will be distributed to the guards and other deployed military members in support of the prisons.
I have attached some pictures taken in the public affairs office, specifically SFC Vaughn Larson of the Wisconsin Army National Guard, took photos of the letters. I will be in touch with the link to the article. Thank you very much for your support. Samantha p.s. to give you all a glimpse of what the guards deal with here, please see this news story out today: CLICK HERE

Have you heard about the discipline and restraint the young guards at detention facilities in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba exhibit on a daily basis? These young military members, often straight out of high school, come face to face with suspected terrorists daily while maintaining a level of professionalism unimaginable considering the circumstances. I am not requesting any store bought items, only for you to take a few minutes to write a letter of encouragement to the guards here at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. I ask for a simple note of thanks for the maturity these guards exhibit and for their willingness to leave their loved ones and face these conditions. Please put my name, Samantha Prince, first on the letter and then follow it with attn: any soldier/ sailor/ airman, as all of the mail comes to a central repository on base and will not be delivered to my office without my name. Thank you for your time and support.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT PRINT THIS PAGE!!!
Why? Because this list changes all the time due to unit movements, soldier transfers, or even soldier casualties.
It is also illegal. ALL content on this site is copyright Any Soldier Inc.
DO NOT send any letter or package to a soldier's address unless you check this web site the same day you mail your packages.
Please do not burden the soldiers or the APO/FPO by sending things when the soldiers are gone. If a soldier is not listed here anymore then that soldier's address is expired. Check here often!
Note that some of the units do not have ranks shown on their addresses.
This is done at the unit's request, but ALL of our contacts ARE Servicemembers.
Be sure to change the "ATTN" line to "ATTN: Any Female Sailor
if your package is for a female!
DO NOT use this program if you expect or require a reply!
DO NOT expect, or require, a reply from a Sailor!
A supporter said it perfectly, "I mean, these guys and gals have other things on their minds, y’know? Like...oh, STAYING ALIVE?"
(NOTE *): Effective 1 May 2006 this web site added a major layer of security to our contacts' information. This change is necessary to protect our troops and ensure that Any Soldier will continue to operate.
The ONLY changes are that the addresses of our contacts are now hidden and the number of addresses you can get are limited. You may obtain addresses simply by clicking on the link provided and correctly filling out the form, the address will then be emailed to you immediately.
(NOTE **): The number shown is how many times a form was submitted requesting this address. This does NOT necessarily mean that this contact will be helped by that many folks. Rule of thumb is that anything 5 requests or less may in fact be no support at all. No way to tell exactly unless the contact lets you know in his/her update how much support they are getting.
(Note 1.): Note that postage to APO AE and FPO AE (E = Europe) is only to NY where the connection to the APO/FPO (APO = Army Post Office)(FPO = Fleet Post Office) is, or to San Francisco for APO AP and FPO AP (P = Pacific), so you don't pay postage all the way to Iraq/Afghanistan.
You might consider picking contacts closer to your mailing area to help cut the cost of mailing. If you live on the East Coast, pick "AE", West Coast, pick "AP", Midwest, well...uh, Thank You for your Support! ;)
New with us (December 2005) you might notice "APO AA" and "FPO AA". This is for units in the Caribbean/South America. Normally. However, due to the nature of some units they may be in Iraq but have an address showing "FPO AA". Mail addresses to "AA" goes out of Miami, Florida.
(Note 2.): Why are military addresses weird? There isn't a street address or city. What gives? Correct, just about everything about the military is weird to civilians. Military units are very mobile, they move around a lot, often they even become part of another unit. The APO (Army Post Office) and FPO (Fleet Post Office) assign APO and FPO numbers as needed, they are NOT static. An APO/FPO number may be for a large unit, or a location. An APO/FPO number for Baghdad today may be for Frankfurt tomorrow.
(Note 3.): The "Expect to not mail past" date is only an approximate and is one of the least reliable things on this web site. It is because of this that you must check often before you send anything to this unit. There are a few reasons this date is not reliable, to include: it IS the Military, we ARE dealing with the APO/FPO/DPO. The only thing that does not change in the military is that things will change. PLEASE NOTE that a Contact is dropped off our active list 30 days PRIOR to their date leaving to help avoid mail bouncing.
(Note 4.): (Removed for OPSEC reasons)
(Note 5.): The lines, "Contact with approx number of Soldiers:" and "Approx how may Female Soldiers:" have NOTHING to do with unit strength. They are approximately how many other Troops the Contacts believe they can get packages to. This helps you understand that you should not send 100 packages to someone who only deals with 10 Troops.
Don't forget that if your package is for a female Soldier, be sure to change "ATTN: Any Soldier®" to "ATTN: Any Female Soldier".
(
Note 6.): This is simply where the unit this contact is from. This is NOT a true picture of the folks in the unit as most all units are made up of folks from all over the United States.) A "Composite Unit" is one made up of other units and is usually temporary for a particular mission.
(
Note 7.): Updated APO/FPO/DPO mailing restrictions> courtesy of Oconus.com (gone now)
(Note: About Restriction "U2": "U2 - Limited to First Class Letters", Box "R" is for retired personnel that live overseas and are still authorized an APO/FPO box. Their address will be something like Box 3345R. Doubt you will see anything like that in Afghanistan or Iraq or ...)(Please Note: Sometime in August 2013, Oconus.com changed the code on their page and our form doesn't work with them anymore, so a link to their page is the best we can do, sorry.)
