Holiday Wishes to those who need it the most

[Boats]

Hi guys,

I got this idea from a person I know and I think this would be great idea.

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



If you approve of the idea, please pass it on to your e-mail list.

From what I understand Reed cannot accept mail unless it is addressed to a specific patient. May want to check into this further.

Boats,

A great sentiment but looks like the staff at Walter Reed and other places just do not want to deal with all that mail. My God, they would have to put in a full days work.
