HooahMail Speeds Delivery

Week of November 30, 2009

The Army's HooahMail program makes it possible for friends and family members to put a paper letter and photograph into the hands of their loved ones in Afghanistan, in some cases, on the same day it is sent. The one-year pilot program is scheduled to begin Dec. 1 and makes use of the Internet combined with physical mail delivery to create a hybrid mail system that can get letters into the hands of Soldiers in remote locations much faster than regular mail delivery alone. Family members that want to send a letter and a photograph to a Soldier in Afghanistan will be able to log into the program's website at www.hooahmail.us to type in their message and delivery information. The HooahMail program is free for family members and friends, and is available for Soldiers in Afghanistan only.
