envelope addressing: U.S. military titles

Several of my clients have asked for assistance with U.S. military titles when preparing their guest lists; so I thought it would be a good idea to start my envelope addressing series with a listing of some of the ranks of the major U.S. military branches of service. Envelopes for these guests should be addressed with full names and no abbreviated titles.

I hope this will be helpful when preparing your guest list!
