postheadericon VA warns mail to Iraq will not go through after Nov. 17

The 40,000 American troops in Iraq are coming home â€" and so is their mail, if it is sent after Nov. 17.

Mail addressed to soldiers in Iraq postmarked after Nov. 17 will be returned to sender.

"Last call for mail: Nothing postmarked after November 17 will be delivered to Iraq," the Dept. of Veterans Affairs tweeted Thursday.

The change comes because the recipients simply will not be there anymore. President Obama announced last Friday that all American troops will be home from Iraq for the holidays. The U.S. and Iraq failed to reach an agreement to keep some troops in the country longer for training purposes.
