For you Christmas card list - 11-07-2007, 07:52 PM


Got this from another forum and thought I'd pass it on. If you are so inclined, 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
Please pass it on to your e-mail list.

No political comments, just consider it if you are so inclined.

Thanks!

Or since we are in TX why not send one to the guys here at Brooks?
I know there is a wounded soldier here that lost all 3 of his kids in a car accident trying to see him in the hospital. There are tons of them that need a card.
Also the ones who are still over there too.

UPDATE

Good thing someone brought up the point to call and ask. They said that this email is 100% Not true and that any cards received would be sent back to server because last year so many of the patients received hate mail they trying to make that stop. The lady I spoke to did say that if you wanted to send something to help, Stamps and Phone Cards are appreciated. You would mail them to the same address but put American Red Cross in the address of who it goes to. They said on the 14th of December they wrap all the stamps, and phone cards and take them to the different wards and give them to the patients. They also asked that you do not forward that email and make sure as many people know as can to help control the lack of letters they have to return.


I got this in the email and though it was 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

There are some good suggestions if you want to do SOMETHING in the snopes article:

I did post the addy already for Brooks. But again they probably won't accept them either because of the hate mail.
