uspsnewsbreak

The U.S. Postal Service has established a unique Post Office Box to allow
employees and the public to send condolences to those affected by the tragedy in
Newtown CT last week.

Those who wish to send expressions of comfort should address them to:

Messages of Condolence for Newtown
PO Box 3700
Newtown CT 06470

USPS understands that there is an outpouring of support for everyone in the
Newtown area and hopes to make it easier for those who wish to send
encouragement and messages of compassion to those affected. Thousands of
letters are pouring in from around the world and this will make it easier to isolate this
mail for efficient distribution.

The Postal Service wants to express its support not only to the residents and others
in the Newtown area, but to our employees who are working hard to ensure efficient
delivery of this mail. Through letters and cards, families will be able to hold that
friendship in their hands and to read those kind words at a time and place that
supports their pace of healing.
