Care Mail
Is your text related to China? This "连心信箱" seems to be a system set up by the Chinese government to listen to and solve people's problems. There is no official English name yet, so you can certainly come up with one. My "care mail" is just a suggestion; I am sure you can come up with a more creative name.
据了解，泰兴市设立了100多个党群“连心信箱”，并开通了党群“连心热线”，重点收集群众在生产生活尤其是在发展致富中遇到的困难，广泛听取群众的意见和建议。
该镇在23个行政村设立了征求意见箱，群众称之为“连心信箱”。“连心信箱”的设立，畅通了言路，方便了群众反映问题，使该镇能够及时倾听民声、了解民情、广纳民意，切实解决好群众反映的热点、难点问题，密切了党群、干群关系。

连心 means connect heart
I guess this is a way for people who care about each other (or the military, in this case) to communicate with.
How about "HeartBridge"?

: Or "heart-to-heart mailbox"? I think it's just a nice name, probably for a newspaper or something for people to write and talk about their heart-felt experiences.

I think this mailbox is just to collect public opinions about the authorities in their governing operations, so that they can improve their services.

If this is used in Mainland China context, it has implicit meaning of "being considerate adn caring other people's need or feeling"
Such as 心连心艺术团。
