Mail Call! GIs took a pen and piece of paper and wrote a letter. No stamp required for GI letters leaving South Vietnam; just wrote the word FREE where the stamp would have been placed. Read a lot of books too! No such things as computers/Nintendo games/or cell phones back then. Men had to know how to read and write back then. If they didn't (and some men didn't) other GIs would write the letter for them and read letters to them.

The US Military does not send out such letters anymore, They haven't since WWII.

If the next of kin of a deceased service member is to be notified, it will be in person.

Usually it will be by two officers, a Casualty Notification Officer and the appropriateClergy for the persons religion.

There may be more and they may also include the Clergy from the persons local church.

By mail. They could sometimes even arrange for letters to be sent across the lines for delivery to relatives on the other side.
