USPS delivers military mail to Haiti
USPS is delivering letters and packages bound for members of the US Armed Forces deployed to Haiti as part of Operation Unified Response. The initial wave of military mail is flowing into Toussaint Louverture International Airport at Port-au-Prince in coordination with the Military Postal Service Agency (MPSA) to support the overall USAID effort in Haiti.
“We’re pleased to support our military personnel serving in Haiti with the vital connection to home that comes through the mail,” said Pranab Shah, managing director and vice president, Global Business. “We’ll continue to work closely with MPSA to ensure our service members receive their mail during this challenging humanitarian mission.”
The Postal Service has assigned a total of 20 APO, FPO, and DPO ZIP Codes at the request of MPSA for the efficient distribution of mail destined for military units serving in Haiti. The Postal Service also continues to support civilian recovery efforts by donating water and medical supplies while staging vehicles, portable buildings and mail sorting equipment for deployment to Haiti.
