Write Bradley
Thank you for supporting Bradley Manning! You can write to Bradley at the following address:
Commander, HHC USAG
Attn: PFC Bradley Manning
239 Sheridan Ave, Bldg 417
JBM-HH, VA 22211
Bradley is currently eligible to receive mail from anyone who wishes to write to him. Bradley does receive a good amount of mail from supporters; however, he usually only replies to family and longtime friends.
There are restrictions on what you can send. The military will reject any mail that violates postal regulations or contains obscenity, blackmail, contraband or threats. Additionally:
a) PFC Bradley Manning cannot receive any cash, checks, or money orders. His legal team is responsible for ensuring that Bradley has sufficient funds in his detainee account to purchase items such as stamps, envelopes, toothpaste, etc.
b) Photographs are only accepted if printed on copy paper. A maximum of six (6) pages are allowed. Pictures on photograph weight paper are not allowed.
c) Incoming mail will be returned to the sender if, in the opinion of the confinement facility, falls into any of the following categories: 1) Contains inflammatory material or advocates escape, violence, disorder or assault; 2) Directly or indirectly threatens the security, safety or order of the facility; 3) Contains coded or otherwise undecipherable language that prevents adequate review of the material; 4) Is received with “Postage Due”; or 5) Contains items of contraband (including anything of any material value, including postage stamps or cigarettes).
Additional notes:
JBM is short for Joint Base Myer. HH is short for Henderson Hall–the unit that provides support services for JBM. Bradley has been officially “attached” to this support unit pending court martial. The commander of the unit is responsible forwarding Bradley’s mail appropriately, either to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, or to the DC area confinement facility where he is held during Fort Meade court proceedings. The actual location of Bradley’s DC area confinement remains classified, but members of Bradley’s legal team regularly visit him at this facility. They continue to report that Bradley has no complaints regarding his treatment at this location. As this facility is geographically close to Quantico, Virgina, where Bradley was subjected to torture-like conditions for ten months, this remains a concern of ours.
I can only hope that in the same situation I would have been and continue to be as brave as you! May you be peaceful, may you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be free from fear!
Feliz cumpleaños Bradley
Gracias,gracias, gracias.

Can we send him postcards or Christmas cards?
I hope so, as I just sent a xmas card… hope it gets to him. He is in such a difficult situation. Obama should have the guts to recognize a wrong has been committed and release him. Not much hope there.
Belated Happy BD and slightly early MX to Brad.
I don’t know what the word “Christmas” would even mean where you are—-probably no more than an extra half tablespoon of beans on your tray in the chow line but whatever, I do wish you the best and hope you realize how many of us there are out here who have got your six.
I can’t imagine what you have been through alone against the Junta USA on behalf of mankind.
Happy Prison Birthday
and thank you
hi Bradley,
Merry Christmas…may peace be with you ,don’t lose your hope.
Happy Birthday Bradley from Australia. My husband I are believing you will be released given what you have gone through. Please hold strong knowing so many believe in you.
Thinking of you through this difficult time.

Wishing you the very happiest you can be in your sitiation, and thanks Bradley, for your astonishing bravery.
Hi Bradley
One day the world will be a very different place and your actions will be seen in the light of this, so hang on in there because justice will prevail.
Bradley I salute your courage. You represent the best traditions of the USA. Shame so many of your nation’s establishment fail to see this. Like Daniel Ellsberg you history will exonerate you.
I wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2013.
Freedom for Bradley Manning in 2013.
happy xmass
keep strong and read law,and remember don’t let the baster– grind you down
love and best wishes Julian c
Dear Bradley,
I think about you EVERY DAY and wish I could trade places with you just to give you some respite. You are serving a purpose – never doubt that. Those who have tortured and humiliated you – I don’t know how they live with themselves. Stay resolute. I send you love and strength.

you’re awesome, and so is/are your lawyer/legal team.

with wishes for a brighter 2013 to you and all your supporters.

Hi Bradley from Australia….You are a very strong person….keep up the great work exposing the war crimes…We thinking people of the world really appreciate your tenacity…Your respective governments and leaders are pathetic…You are strong and should be released IMMEDIATELY….Thanks for supporting Wikileaks and Julian Assange, an Aussie….Keep good health…YOU ARE A MARTYR….
I know it probably comes as no consolation considering your present living circumstances, but you are one of the few honest-to-god outlaw heroes presently extant. Your bravery is utterly authentic. That our beloved parochial state wants to rub you out should be proof that you’ve done something profoundly correct. If we have any decency as a nation, you will be free sooner rather than later. Be strong, you’ve done nothing wrong!
