Airmail Service Day, celebrated on September 18, is a special day to remember the first airmail flight in the U.S. in 1918. Back then, planes flew to deliver mail quickly across long distances, which was a big deal because, before that, mail took much longer to travel by train or horse. This day highlights how important and exciting it was when airplanes first started helping us send letters faster. It's like celebrating the fun and magic of flying and how it changed the way people stayed connected, even if they were far apart.
How to celebrate Airmail Service Day?
Celebrate Airmail Service Day by making paper airplanes and flying them with friends. Write letters or draw pictures, put them in envelopes, and pretend to send them by air mail. Learn how real mail travels by plane today. You could also watch videos or read books about airmail planes to see how they work. Have fun making a small airmail postbox from a shoebox to keep your pretend letters safe. You might enjoy dressing up as pilots or mail carriers. Finally, tell your family what you learned and share the fun facts with them over a special snack or treat.
