They aren't sending cards to that address, because of security risks to the soldiers. Read this http://www.snopes.com/politics/christmas/soldiercards.asp
They are, however, taking cards at the address below. American Red Cross volunteers are sorting the cards and making sure that there isn't anything getting through the mail that shouldn't.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Address:

We Support You During Your Recovery!

Sorry for any inconvenience

I was approached by a friend the other day that said if we wanted to make the letters a little more personal we can call the local National Guard Armory, they could give you names and addresses of service men in the county and/or surrounding counties. Makes it seem more like from 'home.' I may call and see if they will.
