Show the soldiers that we care at the Holidays

[giantfan]

When doing your Christmas cards this year, take one and send it to this address:

A Recovering American Soldier c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center 6900 Georgia Ave NW; Washington,D.C. 20307.

If we pass this on, think how many cards these wonderful, special people would get.



Edit!

Don't send to above address, it was said to be BS by snopes.

Here are the instructions from the Red Cross.

American Red Cross and Pitney Bowes Inc. are teaming up to deliver holiday cards to service members and families and veterans. Holiday Mail for Heroes runs Nov. 2 to Dec. 7 and invites people to send cards to service members. Cards are screened for hazardous materials, sorted and packaged before being sent to military bases and hospitals, veterans' hospitals and other locations. Cards should be addressed and sent before Dec. 7 to Holiday Mail for Heroes, P.O. Box 5456, Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456. No care packages, monetary gifts, glitter or inserts will be accepted.

Don't bother it's bullshit. I will check to see if there is another avenue to do this as I think it's a good idea.
