I live in a town next to where these are being sent. Do you know which Veteran Nursing Home these are going to?
Thanks!

The information I received does not say the name of the Veteran's Nursing Home. I do need to add, however, that Keith needs the cards by October 27th. For every card he receives he, personally, will donate $1.00 towards Walmart gift cards to give the Vets.

Bumping up.

Question for you, others have said cards for wounded soldiers should NOT include any glitter, to avoid wound contamination. Would this be a similar situation? Avoid cards with glitter?

I emailed Keith and here is his response:

"I think Glitter is fine. This a long term care nursing home. These Vets are
not *recently* wounded...they are from WWII, Korea, Vietnam and the first
Gulf War. I'll ask my contact on Monday but I am sure it is OK. I've
delivered other handmade cards to other local Veteran's facilities and they
have never told me to restrict the use of glitter. I suspect that only
applies to the recently wounded."
