12/21/2011 - KUNSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea -- Airmen at the Kunsan Post Office here continue to receive and separate holiday mail faster than Santa's workshop can make toys.

While Saint Nick's work may end on Christmas day, the whirlwind of holiday mail arriving at the Kunsan Post Office won't let up until mid-January according to the base post master.

With a 40 percent increase in mail during the holiday season, it didn't take very long for the post office to break a record either; on Dec. 14 more than 500 pieces of mail were delivered for servicemembers on base. By the time all the mail was separated, the delivery was closer to 700 pieces ready for distribution. Employees and volunteers, worked hard to organize and deliver every piece of mail.
