Christmas card Idea

[rockadaous]

what a great idea...sure it's not a new one, but it's a nice thing to do...

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.

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

Great idea, but last year they wouldn't deliver any of the cards sent in this way. Saw it on the news.

we used to get stuff in the dirt all the time. It was addressed Any Soldier. I didn't see anything about this last year. If you can find a link big wall I'd appreciate it. I'll email the CC at Walter-reed

My mother sent me this the other day.....I just didn't have a second to post it up. Thanks for doing this!

 

[Big Wall]

Sorry, I don't recall where I heard that these cards weren't getting delivered to the soldiers. I sent a card this way last year and then heard that for some reason they weren't allowing them to get thru to the soldiers there. I will try to find something.
