Send an Xmas Card to a Recovering Soldier

[gailz2]

SHARE THE JOY.......

I am definitely doing this!
When doing your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to
this address. If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of
how many cards these wonderful special people who have sacrificed so
much would get.

A Great Idea!!!

When you are making out your Christmas card list this year, please
include the following:
A Recovering American Soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue,NW
Washington , D.C. 20307-5001

My son spent some time at Walter Reed a few years ago and all you need to do is walk through the halls to realize how much you want to do for them.

After reading this, I went over to the box of cards I just bought and filled one out!

There is another thread on this, unfortunately, if you do not address it to a specific Soldier, you card will NOT be delievered to anyone. Its a security thing. The other thread has an alternate address in which you can send your cards, its to the Red Cross I believe. I'll see if I can't bump it for you guys!

As Andrea said, I did this last year to Walter Reed Hospital. I found this year on TruthOrFiction.com-Is that forwarded email Truth or Fiction? Research into stories, scams, hoaxes, myths, and urban legends on the Internet that the reason all five of mine were returned is that mail not specifically addressed to a soldier by name is not being accepted as part of the "Homeland Security" stuff caused by 9/11. Glad the Red Cross address is available though!
