POST OFFICES

Military postal facilities use gateways in the United States to connect your mail with the United States Postal Service (USPS). Shipping costs and procedures are roughly the same as those in America. All mail must have the following to be sent or received:

  • First and last names of both sender and receiver.

  • Recipient or sender names must match those affiliated with the military postal box.

  • A customs form to ensure the contents abide by local area restrictions.

Visit www.usps.com/international/customs-forms.htm to fill and print a customs form. Post Office personnel can also help you fill out a customs form at the facility; however, this can be time-consuming. Click-N-Ship services are also available at many military postal facilities.

The primary mission of WWP is to honor and empower wounded warriors and their family members through a lifetime of free, supportive programs. In Europe, the WWP team’s mission is assisting active-duty patients receiving care at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC). The Germany team also supports active-duty servicemembers, Post 9/11 veterans, and their families stationed and living in Europe through a variety of programs, all at no cost. 

  • Lifelong, free support: Post 9/11 veterans and active duty servicemembers are encouraged to register at www.woundedwarriorproject.org, to have easy access to services when a need arises. 

  • Social connection: WWP offers in-person and virtual family events, alumni outings and peer support groups in Germany and Italy.

  • Mental health: Free virtual clinical counseling is available for individual, couples, family and children over age 7 of registered warriors.

  • Financial wellness: Licensed Veteran Service Officers work virtually with active-duty and Post 9/11 veterans to help with filing claims and utilizing VA benefits, plus WWP offers financial education and career assistance for both warriors and their families. 

  • Physical wellness: While limited in Europe, it is possible to participate in virtual and stateside adaptive sports, physical fitness, nutrition coaching programs, and Soldier Ride®.
