Military families have long used the U.S. Postal Service's flat-rate shipping boxes to send care packages around the globe. The "Priority Mail Large Flat-Rate Box," which normally carries a $14.95 price tag is discounted for our soldiers. If the 12-by-12-by-5.5-inch box is sent to an AFO or FPO address, a $2 discount applies, dropping the cost to $12.95. "This is the first time the Postal Service has offered a special price for our armed forces serving overseas," said Postmaster General John Potter. "We're proud that family and friends will be able to use the new, larger-sized box to send much-appreciated packages from home to our dedicated troops overseas."
