Pen Pals for Soldiers is a 501(c)(3) volunteer organization dedicated to the support and morale of our brave men and women in uniform serving overseas, in appreciation of their efforts in defense of our Nation, our freedoms, and our way of life, Pen Pals for Soldier’s mission is to ensure No Soldier is Forgotten at Mail Call. Through community and corporate business donations, Pen Pals for Soldiers year round mail’s cards, letters, and care packages to the Men and Women serving in the war on terror overseas.

Headquartered in Simi Valley, California, Pen Pals for Soldiers were founded by Barry Thomas in May 2004, after reading "US Troops Overseas Need Your Cards and Letters to Boost U.S. Troops Morale" in the local community newspaper, Barry felt compelled to contribute to the cause.
