During boot camp, training, and deployments, our service members often have little or no access to their cell phones or the web, leaving physical mail as their only means to stay in touch. Letters bridge the gap created when military members drop "off the grid". Users can send digital photos and text through the app. A communication platform built around our military's social structures. Users can define their unit hierarchy and send messages to their entire platoon, wing, ship, etc., knowing their communications are private and secure, visible only to authenticated members. Military members can designate a "kin" in a mirrored, but separate network for spouses and significant others. Veterans can enter past units and corresponding dates, and reconnect with friends they served with.   www.sandboxx.us
